The history of Buzkashi dates back to ancient times, and the name of this sport means killing goats, which is taken from the hunting of mountain goats by horse heroes.
Buzkashi began among the nomadic Asian tribes who came from farther north and east spreading westward from China and Mongolia between the 10th and 15th centuries in a centuries-long series of migrations that ended only in the 1930s. From Scythian times until recent decades, Buzkashi has remained a legacy of that bygone era.
During the first rule of the Taliban regime, Buzkashi was banned in Afghanistan, as the Taliban considered the game immoral. However, after the Taliban regime was ousted in 2001, the game resumed being played.
