Statistical population of this study included all of the faculty members of physical education colleges in sport management field, large, medium and small sports facilities managers, police and security specialists in Iran that their numbers were unclear. On the basis of Cochran formula, 384 persons were randomly selected of research samples. To achieve the research goals, the made researcher questionnaire was used.

Its reliability was studied in a pilot study with 30 subjects and calculated as 0.79. For data analysis the descriptive statistics and inferential statistics methods, including Kolmogorov- Smirnov, KMO, Bartlet test, exploratory factor analysis with Varimax rotation and confirmed factor analysis by application of AMOS software and SPSS software were used. Research findings showed that there are 8 factors such as information, security, preparation, coordination, technology, management, education and citizenship rights for the model of factor affecting the managers' behavior to confront attacks of terrorist groups in sporting events.
