Results: In the qualitative part, 9 indicators were extracted and their priorities were determined in quantitative part. The findings showed that the lack of transparency with a relative weight of 0/158, the weakness of the rules and regulations of 0/137, media, 0/132, systemic thinking, 0/129, betting 0/119, government 0/118, cultural factors 0/092, doping 0/063 and index of monopolism with a relative weight of 0/052, were considered as indicators of financial corruption in the country's sport from the perspective of experts.
Conclusion: In general, sports organizations should focus on transparency, as this will reduce other corruption indicators in sports organizations. In addition, the prompt and clear implementation of laws and regulations towards individuals or organizations will lead to reduction of corruption. In this regard, media play key role and should do its best to make the society informed and aware of personal and organized corruption besides helping to avoid and reduce corruptions.
