WHAT ARE NOMAD GAMES?
The World Nomad Games is a large-scale international event dedicated to traditional nomadic sports and culture. It was first held in 2014 and brings together athletes, cultural performers, and researchers from dozens of countries.
The Games preserve and institutionalize traditional ethnosports that were historically part of nomadic life. They support the transmission of intangible cultural heritage, including oral traditions, music, craftsmanship, and equestrian skills.
