Abstract

Purpose: Paying attention to the architecture of football stadiums is considered a significant issue in sports, which has yet to receive less attention in Iran. Considering the presence of teams from northern Iran in the premier league and the specific climatic conditions they face, this research aims to investigate the Factors affecting the development of football stadium architecture in Iran's temperate and humid climate.
Method: This research was conducted using a qualitative approach based on phenomenology. Colaizzi's method (1978) was employed to explore the interview data. The study's target population consisted of university faculty members in art and architecture, engineers in sports facilities construction and equipment, and university faculty members in sports management, totalling 18 individuals. The data collection tool was semi-structured interviews. Validity and reliability criteria were used, including credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability. (study Community and sample, sampling method, research method, instruments or questionnaires).
Results: According to the results obtained from the participants' information, the factors influencing the development of football stadium architecture consist of 104 sub-themes categorized into eight main themes. Based on the designers' priorities and the significance of their sub-indicators, these themes include site, climate, moisture control, design regulations, safety, structure, design ideas, and sustainability.
Conclusion: Therefore, designers and relevant managers must pay special attention to the construction of stadiums, which are considered significant and monumental structures in the urban landscape. Considering the eight identified factors in this research, they should be designed with principles and foresight.
