Abstract

Today, funding for education and, consequently, funding for student sports are facing serious challenges. The purpose of this study was to provide strategies for developing financial resources in the student sports, which was carried out with qualitative methods. So after the literature review, semi-structured and deep qualitative interviews with experts have been done. Interviews continued until saturation point and identification of all solutions (N=17). A total of 27 strategies were identified in the form of six main factors of the category. Four identified factors (use of religious donors and taxes, attracting sponsors and private sector participation) based on the use of opportunities inside education and two other factors (using donors and religious taxes, attracting sponsors and private sector participation) based on the use of abroad opportunities of education. The use of capacities in education needs to be aware of the solutions of financial resources development, the efforts of operational managers and supporting of executive managers. The use of opportunities outside education also requires the integration and culturalization of legal conditions for private sector entry.
