To celebrate Mexican heritage, a group of Mexicans organised and participated on Saturday (April 14) in the national championship for the Mesoamerican Ballgame in the middle of the grounds surrounding Teotihuacán, the pre-Hispanic city outside of Mexico City.
The pre-Colombian Mesoamerican Ballgame dates back to around 1500 BC.
Gameplay varies among different versions of the game, and debate lingers over how the original participants actually played the game several thousands of years ago.
Versions played at the two-championship centre on trying to keep a rubber ball in play through knocking it from the hips towards the other team.
Failure to keep the ball in play results in the opposing team garnering a point.
