For this purpose, a 77-item questionnaire derived from qualitative studies using grounded theory method was used. The chi-square value of the model is equal to 3946.370, the degree of freedom of the model is equal to 2174, the result of which is equal to 1.815, and the fit indices of the original model are all in an acceptable and appropriate level. Behavioral characteristics and financial literacy can predict financial management behavior and help real investors analyze stock market trends before making a decision, which leads to investment profitability, financial security and capital satisfaction.

The tool's validity was confirmed using the opinion of experts. Smart PLS 3 software was used to analyze the data and the relationships between the variables. Findings showed that respectively, media literacy (Path coefficient: 0.88; T-Value: 7.65); Technology Literacy (Path coefficient: 0.78; T-Value: 5.87); Legal Literacy (Path coefficient: 0.76; T-Value: 5.19); Managerial literacy (Path coefficient: 0.67; T-Value: 3.50), and financial literacy (Path coefficient: 0.62; T-Value: 2.53) had significant effects on the performance of football clubs. Based on the findings, it was found that sports managers should use a variety of literacy in different areas of decision-making and face different problems to provide the ground for better success and performance of the club.
