Purpose: Political behavior is a significant issue worldwide that has captured the attention of researchers in this field. Political behavior encompasses activities within an organization aimed at gaining power and achieving the goals of a power seeker in situations of uncertainty or instability. This study was conducted to investigate the factors influencing the development of political psychology in Iranian professional sports. Methods: The study utilized a qualitative approach. The statistical population consisted of knowledgeable experts, identified through purposive sampling. The sampling process continued until theoretical saturation was reached, resulting in 14 individuals being selected as participants for the qualitative section. Semi-structured interviews were used as the data collection tool. Results: The study identified existing tensions, supportive forces, competitive environments, and mental pressures as causal conditions for the development of political psychology in Iranian professional sports. Additionally, adaptation strategies and empowerment strategies were identified as means to promote the development of political psychology in Iranian professional sports. Conclusions: The study revealed that the development of political psychology in Iranian professional sports has consequences for both sports and politics.
