Team Sports

Team sports encompass some of the world’s most fascinating yet lesser-known athletic competitions that bring communities together. From the fiery intensity of Indonesia’s Sepak Bola Api, where players kick a flaming coconut, to the strategic Japanese game of Gateball, these sports showcase unique cultural traditions and collaborative spirit. Many of these games have deep historical roots, like Cammag from the Isle of Man and Dibeke from South Africa, preserving ancient customs through athletic competition. The category explores how different cultures have developed their own distinctive team-based activities, often using locally available materials and reflecting regional values in their rules and gameplay structures.
