The purpose of this study was to analyze the multi-relationships between imagery in sports, self-confidence and body mass index and sporting success of male and female elite futsal athletes. 60 male and 40 female served as subjects for this study. Three questionnaires were used to measure imagery in sports, self-confidence and conceptual sporting success. The psychometric characteristics of these instruments in this study and the studies by others were reported to be successful. Also measuring height and weight were used for determining the body mass index. Multi regression equation was applied to test which predictor variables (imagery in sport, self-confidence, body mass index), could predict criterion variable (sporting success). The results, at significant level (α= 0.05), showed that the variable of imagery in sports in male athletes and self-confidence variable in female athletes could more effectively predict their sporting success in futsal games. It is, therefore, to propose that the coaches should provide such conditions for male elite athletes to improve imagery variable and self-confidence in female elite athletes to achieve success in futsal games
