This study aims to identify the role of foresight orientation of administrations in shaping the future vision of Iraqi sports federations from the perspective of their members and presidents. The research problem stemmed from the organizational, financial, and administrative challenges facing these federations, and the urgent need to adopt a foresight approach capable of anticipating environmental changes and formulating long-term goals that enhance the sustainability and competitiveness of sports work. The researcher developed a scale to identify foresight orientation. The study relied on the opinions of 90 members of sports federations in Baghdad, using a scale to measure the level of foresight orientation across five key areas. The results showed that the overall level of foresight orientation was moderate, with the areas of proactive planning and decision-making, and participation and strategic partnerships ranking highly. Conversely, the areas of risk management and awareness of future variables were found to be less developed. The study concluded that enhancing the future vision requires developing the capabilities of sports administrations in scientific foresight, adopting innovative planning methods, and effectively involving members in formulating future visions.
