Importance The article dwells on creation of an efficient monitoring system of control and management of all subjects of the football industry, an essential element of which can become a performance assessment of football organizations, that can be based on the model of rating evaluation and benchmarking.
Objectives The aim of the paper is to develop a methodology for rating the performance of the regional football associations.
Methods To achieve the goal, I reviewed the today's evaluation system of sporting organizations, normative-legal base, practical aspects related to the management of association football in Russia, the mechanisms for distribution of funding between the actors. In view of the fact that the domestic football should be developed, primarily, in the regions of Russia, the work focuses on the regional level of management.
Results As a result, I have identified the factors that determine the effectiveness of the regional football associations. I combined these factors into a single rating model that identifies the industry leaders in selected areas and established best practices.
Relevance The developed model can be used for management decision making and equitable distribution of resources allocated both for the development of sport, in general, and football, in particular. In the future, such a system can be implemented in other sports, and adapted for performance evaluation of sports clubs that will help solve the problem of their gradual privatization.

Keywords: economics, sports, football, management, rating, ranking, benchmarking
