multiculturalism, patriotism, social hope, and meritocracy.Only the theme of high patriotism and the sense of altruism in social relations is not acceptable. The importance of reciprocity and attention to it increases social cohesion and constructive social life, and to improve and increase reciprocity in the structural field, it is necessary to recognize and interact between the demands of young people and decision-making centers at macro levels and create conditions to respond to the needs of the times and We are forward-looking.

This objective of this study was to identify the attraction of Zoorkhaneh Sport for foreign tourists from tour guides’ point of view. The present study was conducted on a thematic analysis method using review of interviews. The statistical population of the study consisted of foreign tour guides. Using purposive sampling, 13 tour leaders were selected, of which the theoretical saturation was fulfilled with the 8th individual views. From the analysis of qualitative data, 60 initial codes were obtained, which were divided into 15 central categories, and finally, the two main categories of Zurkhaneh sports attractions were obtained. The validation method of the study was validity-interpretation, in which the study results and feedbacks were presented to the tour leaders and was approved by them. The results showed that the attractions of Zoorkhaneh Sport are divided into two main categories. Tangible attractions, including decoration and architecture, sport instruments, non-sport instruments, Zoorkhaneh authorities, group synchronized exercises, combination of moves, fitness of athletes, and the public state of exercise. Also, intangible attractions included hierarchy of athletes at Zoorkhaneh, antiquity of Zoorkhaneh, combination of sports and music, having roots in Iran, combination of literature and sports, combination of culture with sports, and combination of religion with sports. Hence, it’s recommended that travel agencies, Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran, and Zoorkhaneh Federation try to attract tourists and develop this sport across other countries using advertisement and promotion.

Today, the exciting arena of watching football matches in multi-ethnic communities such as Iran has become an arena for showing and expressing ethnic identities. Accordingly, the study is to represent the dimensions of ethnic identity among football spectators by thematic analysis. The population included fans of three textile teams: Mazandaran, Khuzestan Steel and Tabriz Tractor, from three ethnic groups: Mazani, Turk and Arab. The sampling method was purposive that 28 in-depth interviews were conducted until reaching the theoretical saturation stage, 17 of which were coded and analyzed using Nvivo8 software.
The findings from the three-stage coding of qualitative data showed that spectators while watching the game in sports stadiums represent their ethnic identity through two components, each of which has its own dimensions.These two components are: 1) ethnicity through mental mediation (culture, history, racism, religion, symbolic attributes) and 2) ethnicity through objective mediation (land, music, diet, myths and celebrities, population rate, Symbolic cover, language, race).
Therefore, it can be said that watching football matches has the potential to represent ethnic identity for spectators, which leads to the adoption of strategic policies to strengthen national identity in order to reduce tensions, taking into account differences based on ethnic identity.
