| Introduction: Athletes are at high risk of sports injuries. Football, like many other sports, requires high levels of psychologicalskills . Coping variables include factors such as self-blame, self-distraction, active coping, denial, and so on. These studies include suggestions that identify the relationship between psychological factors and the increased risk of sports injuries. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between coping variables and anxiety and the rate of sports injuries in football players. Research methodology: 40 male football players in the age range of 16 to 20 years, with an average height of 178.6 cm, average weight of 68.3 kg and an average of 6.95 years of sports experience were selected based on available sampling. We used the COPE questionnaire to examine coping variables and the SCAT questionnaire, known as the Martens questionnaire, to examine the effect of anxiety on sports injuries. And each player's score was recorded. The sports coaches of each team were asked to record all injuries.i Results: Based on the data collected from the injury report form, 57 injuries were recorded, among which, cruciate ligament rupture injury was the most common injury. Also 27.3% of injuries were related to the upper limb and 72.7% were related to the lower limb. 71% of injuries occurred during the match and 29% during training. Also, the survey of anxiety based on a questionnaire showed that 16% of participants had low anxiety (5-10 points), 31% had moderate anxiety (16-23 points) and 53% had high anxiety (23-30 points). Also, the study of coping variables such as self-blame and self-denial variables can explain 15.8% of the occurrence of harm.i Conclusion: The findings indicate the need for athletes, coaches and physicians to strive to strengthen psychological skills and minimize the risk of injury. Educating athletes and coaches on anxiety control techniques and increasing motivation and emotional support is essential. The data also indicate that the coping variables and anxiety were significant predictors of sports injuries among football players.
