The rapid development of industrialization and expansion of urbanization, energy crisis, ecological destruction, environmental environment, and such issues have always been an environment for the survival and growth of human life. In recent years, the sport has been proposed as an engine of sustainable development, recognized as one of the most critical capabilities of sustainable development to promote environmental protection. The current research aimed to provide a sustainable green model for large sports venues. The method of conducting this qualitative and the Statistical research population included specialists in the research field. The statistical sample was selected by the snowball method, and their number reached 15 people. The tool and method of data collection was an individual semi-structured interview. For data analysis, Glaser's grounded theory approach was used, including two main steps actual and theoretical coding. 465 primary codes, 72 categories, and 10 main concepts were identified during the actual coding process. Among the most essential extracted concepts, we can mention cultural factors, structural stability, national and ethnic identity, green management, recycling, transportation, and traffic. In the theoretical coding stage, the final model of the research was drawn, focusing on presenting a sustainable green model of large sports venues. The development and presentation of the sustainable green model of sports venues have increased awareness in designing and building large stadiums and led to the construction of structures following the sustainability of the environment.
