APPLICABLE REMARKS

According to the latest direct and indirect relationships between the variables and the modifications made in the model, we can propose the following model for the marketing of the volleyball league in Iran:
- It is suggested that considering the fact that management factor is one of the most important elements in marketing in volleyball, it is necessary for the managers to train before and during management training to enhance their knowledge of business strategy based on reducing costs and improving quality and product innovation.
- It is also recommended that the volleyball federation and provincial committee members form an effective and strong market presence in order to obtain the necessary information and create a strong database in the field of positioning and market segmentation of the market and provide the necessary solutions for the effective presence of this sport in the market.
- It is suggested that managers and officials take the necessary coordination between the Ministry of Sports, the Volleyball Federation and the League in order to overcome the gap between the current and desirable factors affecting marketing.
