Today, an investment in football sector, which as one of the most popular sports around the world, has led to an upward trend. In fact, the huge money that has spent on the transfer of players, the right to broadcast television, sponsorship, etc., has provided a suitable platform for money laundering in the field of football. As a result, the Financial Action Task Force expressed the need for an alert on the issue of money laundering by publishing a 2009 report on such a dangerous environment. In this regard, the FATF does not just discourage the identification of vulnerable areas of money laundering in the football sector, but numerous prior and posterior mechanisms are in place to deal with these behaviors. Thus, during the present research, it attempts to study the FATF's measures against money laundering in football sector and also analyzes of Iranian legislator function to enforce each of the aforementioned measures.
