KABUL, Dec. 30 (Xinhua) -- Buzkashi, meaning "goat grabbing", is a centuries-old traditional game in Afghanistan, in which skilled horse riders of rival teams compete to take the slaughtered goat or calf and throw it in a circle fixed on the Buzkashi ground.

Let's go for a match in Bamiyan city in central Afghanistan.
