Morality is an inseparable element of the human life. Although the morality conception is a familiar conception, sport is a special context that morality value has an appearance with it. In consideration of sports development in society special football development as a big cultural industry with global dimensions, there is a manifest need for evaluating sports morality. According to this, the purpose of current study is the evaluation of the sports morality of younger football players and its relationship with some personal features. The method of this study is a descriptive analysis method. Its population was all football players that being active in younger class at Ahwaz football schools that according to Morgan sample table 94 sportsmen and 78 sportswomen were selected as a sample. For collecting data, a scholar made questionnaire was used that its reliability and its certainty were supported. Results from evaluating sports morality of football players show they have a desirable performance in nobility and sports commitment and they have an undesirable performance in fair and athletic behavior. A comparison of sports morality between men and women football players also detected women have a higher level of sports morality than men (p= 0/001) and there is a positive weak correlation between sports experiences and sports morality level (r= 0/262). Since sport isn't the only morality development factor, sports morality instruction across with skills instruction to athletes by football coaches is necessary. Moreover, it is required a lower emphasis about win and failure because more emphasis on them leads to lack of morality and there must be an emphasis on intuitive value of sports partnership.
