Summary

Introduction

The management generally plays a significant role in the success of institutions, especially those institutions that depend on the human element in their outputs. The change management continuously serves as a planned process of altering, amending, omitting or adding some of the objectives and policies of sports institutions, the values and trends of individuals and groups working in those sports institutions, including the Jordan Football Association, in the capabilities and resources available to them, or even in the means and methods of work to impose more effective performance of institutions and achieve high efficiency (Joan, 1999). The sports institutions with various sizes and nature of their activities need leaders who believe in change management in achieving the objectives of these institutions as well as completing their work in keeping with the developments that take place in the continental and / or international sports arena. The researcher observed through his work in the Football Association that the Football Association relies on a traditional approach and does not effectively face problems at the managerial, training or refereeing level and that there is no flexibility in the used policies
