The purpose of this study was to evaluate Performance of Iranian football primer league. We use Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique for aggregating the sub-factors which involve in input-output factors, and then DEA is used for calculating the efficiency measures. Also, AHP is used to construct some weight restrictions for increasing the discrimination power of the used DEA model. For calculating the efficiency measures, DEA-CCR model is utilized. Our findings reveal that the average of FESs of the teams is 0.704. The results showed that Shahin, Abumoslem, and Steelazin possessed the efficiency score of 1 and Esteqlal AHV had the lowest score with efficiency score of 0.51. The results also showed that the performance rating and rank the teams racing in the table there is no match. Turning to the overall study results, the most important factor to be inefficient of the Iranian Premier League teams is high wages and low income, as can be. Team managers in this area suggest is reducing costs and increasing revenues are seeking higher performance scores. Private clubs also making as a mechanism to increase overall performance in the Premier League football is recommended.
