Among all sports, football is as all the existing evidence shows the most popular sport in the world. There are various reasons for the success or failure of a football team in a tournament, some being inside the playground while some others are out of the playground, playing an important part in the success or failure of teams. In this study, a new method for the use of the "Failure mode and effect analysis" technique with a fuzzy approach has been provided to investigate the causes of failure of Yazd and Hormozgan provinces' football teams. For this purpose, after finding the reasons for the failure of these two provinces' football teams, we designed a questionnaire and assessed them using the priority criterion after distributing them among experts from the two provinces and gathering information from them. Finally, we identified the most determining and decisive errors based on rank and in order to eliminate or improve them by help of experts' views and use of fuzzy TOPSIS technique, we provided solutions including "having a major sponsor or strong supporter, "privatization of clubs", "visual coverage of the team's games", "providing the sponsor's position in the country, visual show case and public attention areas", "connection with football schools and talent finding and having strong base teams" and "choosing the best using the traditional and modern methods (according to the statistical studies and standard tests measuring their ability) (according to statistical studies and the standard tests measuring ability).
