ICTSG is committed to promote the TSG.

Announcement:

In an era defined by rapid modernization and digital transformation, the enduring value of Traditional Sports and Games (TSG) stands as a powerful reminder of humanity’s shared cultural roots. These time-honored activities are not merely forms of recreation—they are living expressions of identity, heritage, and collective memory, passed down through generations.

Under the visionary stewardship of the International Council of Traditional Sports and Games (ICTSG), TSG are being revitalized as a global movement that bridges the past with the future. ICTSG serves as a unifying platform, bringing together nations, communities, and institutions to safeguard and promote these invaluable traditions as part of the world’s intangible cultural heritage.

Traditional sports foster more than physical fitness—they cultivate discipline, respect, teamwork, and moral integrity. Rooted in community life, they strengthen social cohesion and encourage intergenerational dialogue. In rural fields, village squares, and cultural festivals, these games continue to inspire unity and belonging in ways that modern sports alone cannot replicate.

Moreover, TSG align closely with global development priorities. They contribute to youth empowerment, gender equality, inclusive participation, and sustainable lifestyles. By integrating traditional games into education systems, health initiatives, and cultural policies, ICTSG is advancing a holistic vision where sport becomes a tool for peace, dialogue, and development.

In a world increasingly driven by commercialization, the preservation of traditional sports ensures that the spirit of fair play, cultural diversity, and human connection is not lost. ICTSG calls upon governments, organizations, and communities to join hands in this noble mission—to protect, promote, and celebrate the rich tapestry of traditional sports and games across the globe.

Together, let us honor our heritage, empower our youth, and build a more inclusive and culturally enriched future through Traditional Sports and Games.

رمي الرمح: فنّ الفرسان القدماء

رمي الرمح (نيزا بازي) ليس مجرد رياضة، بل هو فنّ فروسية تاريخي يعكس قرونًا من براعة الفرسان في شبه القارة الآسيوية.

تتطلب هذه الرياضة سرعةً ودقةً وتوازنًا وشجاعةً استثنائية، وتُبرز التناغم المثالي بين الفارس والحصان أثناء العدو بأقصى سرعة. من الأزياء التقليدية إلى معدات الفروسية الحديثة، يبقى الهدف واحدًا: إصابة الهدف بدقة متناهية.

من خلال رسالتها العالمية، تواصل المجموعة الدولية لرياضة الفروسية التقليدية (ICTSG) الحفاظ على الرياضات التقليدية والترويج لها وتطويرها مهنيًا، لضمان مكانتها اللائقة على الخريطة الرياضية العالمية
