Sports play an essential role in the economic development of today's societies, and financial resources are needed to expand and spread sports, and sufficient financial resources play a significant role in achieving the goals of societies through sports. The purpose of the current research was to identify the strategies for the development of income generation and financing of women's basketball in the west of the country. The research method is descriptive-survey and exploratory, which was done with the structural equation approach. The statistical population of the present research in the qualitative part included 10 experts and elites of basketball sports in the country and in the quantitative part it included coaches, experts and officials of sports boards in the field of basketball sports in the western provinces of the country. Based on Morgan's table, 384 people were selected for the statistical population in the quantitative section. Research tools included interviews and researcher-made questionnaires. The validity of the questionnaire was calculated using the Delphi method and confirmatory factor analysis, and the reliability of the questionnaire was calculated using Cronbach's alpha 0.88. To analyze the data, Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistical methods, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis with the structural equation model approach were used in SPSS 26 and AMOS 22 software. The results of exploratory factor analysis with varimax rotation classified 38 questionnaire items into 6 factors (competition factors, marketing factors, financial support, media factors, infrastructural factors and economic factors). In total, these six factors covered 81.924% of the total variance of the variables. Also, the results of confirmatory factor analysis confirmed all 6 factors of the questionnaire and their related items, and no item was removed from the questionnaire. Finally, the final model of the questionnaire was confirmed and the fit indices of the model were reported as optimal. Therefore, considering the lack of financial resources in sports fields, especially in the cities of the country, an economic strategic approach in order to develop income generation, strengthening and expanding the sports fields of clubs seems necessary.
