| Summary: | Introduction: Managing football clubs is a challenging and rewarding experience, requiring a combination of leadership skills and strategic decision-making. Objective: to examine the dynamics of financing soccer clubs, fan influence, leadership, and governance on Ethiopian Premier League soccer club performance. Methodology: A correlational study was conducted. Twenty-one seven-point linker Amharic version questionnaires, known for their validity and reliability, were used from a sample of 307 participants selected through the simple random sampling method. Frequency, percentage, correlation, and multiple linear regression analyses (with a significance level of P < 0.05) were performed. Results: The main finding revealed that football clubs (M = 5.55, SD = 1.28), leadership and governance (M = 5.21, SD = 1.62), and fan influence (M = 3.74, SD = 1.31). There is no significant association between fan influence (r = 307), .074, p > .005) and soccer club performance; unlikely financing has a significant correlation (r = 307), -.348, p < .001) with football club performance; and leadership and governance (r = 307), -.626, p > .005), with soccer club performance and All dependent variables can make a 45.4% prediction Discussion: These findings suggest that fan influence and financing soccer clubs play a crucial role in predicting the success of soccer clubs. The study highlights the importance of effective leadership and governance in driving club performance. Conclusions: Fan influence and financing of football clubs play a significant role in predicting soccer club performance, while leadership and governance also have a strong impact.
