Talents play an essential role in the development of a country's sport and paying attention to them and discovering and developing these individuals is one of the key factors in sport success. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors, which affect the development of successful talent in the first and second division women's futsal league in Iran. The research method was descriptive-survey. The statistical population of this study was included all the players in the women first and second futsal league (202 people) in season 2017-2018. The data collection tool was a questionnaire of successful talent development factors derived from the dissertation of Mudege (2011), which has 7 dimensions and 51 questions. Its validity confirmed by physical education professors and its reliability was obtained through Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.86. Data analysis were done using descriptive and inferential (Friedman) statistics by AMOS24 and SPSS22 software. The findings showed that cultural factors with the load of (0.71) and financial support by the load of (0.28), had respectively the most and the least impacts on the development of successful talent.
