The results were analyzed in two parts: structural model and model utility. The findings of the study showed that the experimental data collected in this study support the existing theoretical model and the relevant factors were able to predict a good percentage of the main variable behavior. Investigation of factor path coefficient showed that management factor with beta coefficient of 0.358 and information system factor with beta coefficient of 0.126 had the highest and least importance respectively in predicting main variable behavior or attracting sponsors in championship sport.
