Once popular across Central Asia, Kazakhstan’s kokpar is essentially similar to Afghanistan’s buzkashi or Kyrgyzstan’s kok-boru. This version, however, has been altered to fit modern standards.

Bouzkachi, kokpar, peu importe le nom. Dans la région, s'il y a des chevaux et des chèvres, alors le jeu existe.

I’ll get my goat: Kazakhstan's ancient sport for modern times This article is more than 8 years old a kokpar match in Shymkent, Kazakhstan, March 22, 2017 Photograph: Vladimir Konstantinov/Shutterstock The sport of kokpar is like blood-drenched polo, with a headless goat as the ball. And even as Kazakhstan tries to forge a modern, high-tech identity for itself, this age-old game is being pushed as a defining part of its culture. By Will Boast

Datça, 1987. You run the lost-and-found counter at a small Turkish harbour. Compare claim forms, items and the ledger, then decide who gets what. Every object has an owner, and somewhere on this desk is a trace of Elif, who vanished seven years ago.

omg there IS buzkashi!!
A screencapture of the linked article that reads "But one of the big highlights is kokpar, a thrilling and high-adrenaline game involving two teams of horsemen competing to place a goat carcass into a goal—a sport that has been passed down through generations in Central Asia. Other events include hunting with eagles, traditional wrestling styles like Audaryspak (horseback wrestling), and mas-wrestling (a test of strength where two opponents pull on a stick to unseat the other)."
