Abstract
Objective: the purpose of this study was to weigh and rank the indices involved in the success of the Iranian Premier League and then ranking the 16 Premier League clubs based on AFC indices and requirements.
Methodology: Research data was collected from coaches with a degree in coaching. In order to analyze the data, two methods of multi-criteria decision making techniques (MCDM) called ANP and VIKOR were used in fuzzy conditions. Finally To analyze the sensitivity of the results, the ranking of the research, based on the prediction and opinion of the experts from the clubs in the Premier League in the 96-95 season, was compared with the actual ranking of the clubs at the end of the season.
Results: The results indicated that the first three teams from the research rankings were exactly those who ranked first to third at the end of the season. This demonstrates the high reliability of the results of the research.
Conclusion: The result of weighting the criteria indicated that according to experts, the criterion of adolescent growth and development is the most important criterion in the progress and success of the clubs in the country. Therefore, it is suggested that they pay more attention to this issue and invest more in raising the base team.
