Same in Afghanistan they dont use leather, even the game ball is a complete goat, without head and hooves. Buzkashi the national sport of Afghanistan's, means goat-grabbing. Where it is often played on Fridays and matches draw thousands of fans. Beloved by Uzbeks, Tajiks, Kyrgz, Kazakhs, Pashtuns and Turkmens as well as Afghans, the equestrian sport known as Kokpar or Buzkashi is a rugged, and traditionally extremely violent, game similar to polo with one surprising twist; rather than hitting a ball with mallets toward a goal, players vie for control of a headless animal carcass. The chapandaz (rider) and their horses go through rigorous training before competing in the game. The goal is to grab the carcass of 35 Kg goat, clear it of the other players and get it into a target circle to attain points.
