The purpose of this study is to examine traditional sports games in the context of ethnosport events. Ethnosport is a new institutional form that combines traditional physical activity types,  including national sports, and is revived as historical reconstructions of traditional  indigenous games. Ethnosport is an important part of the cultural  heritage of the world’s peoples and acts as a type of ethnocultural identity. It includes  traditional games and ethnocultural physical activity types related to national lifestyles  and customs. Ethnosport festivals are held in various cities in Turkey with the aim of preserving  ethnosport disciplines and passing them on to future generations. This makes it possible  to preserve the common Turkish culture and disseminate cultural elements. In particular, events with international participation benefit Turkey both in terms of tourism activities and in terms of promoting cultural values abroad. In addition, festivals showcasing the same shared values with the Turkic Republics serve to spread Turkish culture and strengthen cultural dialogue. In this respect, ethnosport festivals combine many beneficial elements. Thus, on the one hand, economic benefits will emerge and significant revenue can be generated, while on the other hand, the goal of sharing and spreading Turkish cultural values can be achieved.
