Abstract
The purpose of this study was to study of obstacles to the formation of reverse logistics in sporting events. The current research was of a kind. The statistical population of the study included experts in the field of sports management in the qualitative part of the study. The experience and awareness of the research topic were determined. The statistical community in the quantitative research section included some of the country's sports events managers, sport sports federation directors in the sporting events, as well as some well-known academic professors in the subject. The research instrument consisted of semi-structured interviews and a researcher-made questionnaire designed according to the objectives and methodology of the research. The whole process of analyzing the data was done in SPSS, PLS and Maxqda software. The results of this study showed that barriers to knowledge, management, coordination, technology and law were identified as barriers to the formation of reverse logistics in sporting events. Finally, using the structural modeling method of the conceptual model of the research was drawn. According to the present study, it was found that among the identified barriers, legal and managerial barriers, due to their high importance, play a key role in the formation of other barriers.
