The aim of this study is to determine the sport-specific achievement motivation levels of the futsal players who joined in Turkey Hearing-Imparied Futsal Championship. For that purpose, the study has been conducted on 100 female and 67 male, in total 167 (%83,5) athletes, that are chosen from 200 athletes who took part in Turkey Hearing-Imparied Futsal Championship. A 12-item "Personal Information Form" was used to gather participants' demographical information and the 40-item Three Scale to Measure Competition-Related Motives in Sports developed by Willis (1982) to determine the motivation levels. In analyzing the acquired data, the techniques of arithmetic mean, standard deviation and analysis of variance were used. One Way Anova and t test were used to determine the differences. The significance level of statistical data was analyzed in level of p<0.05. Consequently, it has been determined statistical significance in the motives of showing their power, approaching achievement and avoiding failure for the benefit of male athletes (p<0.05). Pursuant to the age variable, it was found out statistical significance (p<0.05) between 16-19 and 20-23 ages. Furthermore, it was concluded that male athletes have higher achievement motivation and the motive to show power increases with the age.
