The present research was designed and conducted to analyze the interactive relationships among the dimensions of entrepreneurship development through sports in the technical and vocational universities of the country. This study employed a mixed-methods approach, consisting of both qualitative and quantitative components. The statistical population included experts with comprehensive knowledge of the research topic. Data collection tools comprised semi-structured interviews and researcher-developed questionnaires. For the quantitative analysis, the DEMATEL method was utilized, while the qualitative analysis employed the fuzzy Delphi method. Following the application of the fuzzy Delphi method, 46 items were identified and categorized into four main dimensions and twelve sub-dimensions. These dimensions include:1) Environmental Factors: Customs, laws and regulations, policy issues, and social issues. 2) Commercial Factors: Markets and sports products. 3) Specialized Factors: Technology, experience, sports events, and education. 4) Managerial Factors: Planning, evaluation, and monitoring. In the subsequent phase of the research, the DEMATEL method was applied to analyze the twelve components: customs, laws and regulations, policy issues, social issues, markets, sports products, technology, experience, sports events, education, planning, and evaluation and monitoring. This method was used to identify the relationships between these dimensions. The findings indicated that education, rules and regulations, planning, evaluation and supervision, customs, and policy issues play a significant and clear role in the emergence and formation of other factors contributing to the development of entrepreneurship through sports in the technical and vocational universities of the country.
