Data collection was done by a checklist of Sports priority and the population was all provinces of Islamic Republic of Iran, the sample was equal to the statistical population. Data analysis performed using descriptive statistics and pie charts. Findings showed: Women's sports need a more serious approach toward athletic sports. For example, in the highest number events discipline such as track & field athletic, there is no significant match between national team members and provincial planning of women's sports, which is the case in most disciplines.
