The ball game, “Pokolpok”, is considered a precursor to modern soccer and one of the world’s oldest team sports. The game involved two teams of seven members each, where the main objective was to pass the ball through the hoops on the court. The ball could only be manipulated using the hips, shoulders, and elbows. The ball was crafted from natural tree ingredients, transforming it into rubber.
