Sport & Activities

General
Soccer is the national game. Burundians also excel in track and field events, often competing at an international level. People of all ages play the ancient game of urubugu, or mancala. It is played with pebbles or seashells on hollows scooped out on the ground, or with seeds on expensive, elaborately carved wooden boards.
