The purpose of the present study was to compare the sex role among elite male and female futsal players. Therefore, 125 futsal players (57 females and 68 males) were selected randomly from super league teams in Iran. They filled out the Bem sex role inventory (Bem, 1974). The data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) at the significance level of p<.05. The results indicated no significant differences between male and female players’ masculinity and femininity. Furthermore, the masculine sex role was significantly higher than the feminine sex role in both female and male players. Thus, it seems that the high masculinity is a success factor for futsal players, especially for female players.
