الملخص

The purpose  of this study  is to  build a scale of the difficulties of practical teaching of  football among the professors of the faculties of physical education and sports sciences in the subject of football, and to classify these difficulties according to organizational, technical, material, educational, and professional axes.  The  research problem was  the absence of codified scientific tools that accurately reveal the nature of the difficulties faced by football professors  in the practical aspect, which makes the process of analysis, treatment and development difficult, the researchers used the  descriptive-analytical method as it is the most appropriate in studies of building standards and diagnosing educational phenomena, and the  research population was identified from the professors of football in the faculties of physical education and sports sciences in Iraqi universities For the academic year (2024-2025), the  researchers selected a sample of (150) football teachers  with at least five years  of experience  in this field,  the scale was built according to scientific steps that include preparing paragraphs, presenting them to the referees, and testing the honesty and consistency using the appropriate statistical methods.The researchers concluded  that there are  real difficulties suffered by football professors in the practical aspect, ranging from  organizational, technical and material difficulties, the most common of which were the weakness of stadium equipment, lack of tools, and incompatibility of practical lesson times with the conditions of students and professors, and based on these results, the study recommends the adoption of the scale that was built as a reference tool in evaluating the reality of football teaching, with the need for the intervention of scientific departments to address problems and updating educational resources to keep pace with the nature of the subject.
