The weirdest sports in the world

Some sports, like soccer or basketball, are popular mostly everywhere on the planet, but some sports haven’t had the privilege of becoming known in every country, large and small. Some sports were probably not interesting enough to spread out of their country of origin, or they didn’t have the opportunity to become famous.

And some sports are simply so unusual that it’s hard to believe that anyone could have enough imagination to think them up. So whenever you visit a new country, find out what the locals are fond of playing in their free time, because you might discover something really interesting.
