Manouchehri Tourism and Sports Center – Official Briefing Document

The Manouchehri Tourism and Sports Center, located in the city of Hamedan—the first capital of the ancient Persian Empire and one of the oldest continuously inhabited urban settlements in the region—is situated on the foothills of Mount Alvand (Orontes). The five-hectare estate, historically owned by the Manouchehri family, has long served as a significant agricultural domain renowned particularly for the cultivation of premium Iranian walnuts. Its strategic location, favorable climatic conditions, and ease of access provide an exceptional foundation for sustained development in the fields of sports, tourism, and environmental initiatives.

In alignment with contemporary international standards and under the guidance of experts in sports sciences, the center has undergone a major institutional transition. It has been established as a distinguished non-governmental hub dedicated to the advancement of both Olympic and non-Olympic sporting disciplines. This transformation reflects a long-term strategic vision to integrate sports development with environmental sustainability and regional tourism potential.

The initial development phase, internationally designated as Manouchehri Pro (Manopuchehri.pro), comprises a comprehensive suite of specialized outdoor facilities, including:

Obstacle and endurance sports infrastructure, featuring
* two fully equipped 100-meter ninja/OCR lanes
* 100-meter and 400-meter obstacle courses
30.000 meter fully equipped for Hybid Sports

Three standard aquatic facilities designed to support swimming, water-obstacle competitions, Spartan-style events, biathlon, and triathlon disciplines

A dedicated combat sports zone, including
* three standardized rings for Kickboxing and Muay Thai
* one regulation MMA cage for mixed martial arts competitions
* three elevated tatami-equipped platforms for Taekwondo, Karate, Judo, and Wushu

The center proudly hosts the Central and West Asia regional administrative offices of several international sports federations recognized by the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA), the International Mind Sports Association (IMSA), and the International Olympic Committee (IOC). These headquarters operate within the facility as part of its mandate to support international cooperation, organizational development, and regional sports governance.

In addition, the Manouchehri Center serves as the official principal sponsor of the International Humanitarian Games Committee (IHGC) as well as the General Association of World Sports Federations (GAWSF) within the Islamic Republic of Iran. Through these partnerships, the center contributes to the promotion of global sports values, humanitarian engagement through athletic initiatives, and the strengthening of international collaborative frameworks.
