The story

Festival Natsionalnykh Sportivnykh Igr in Dushanbe/Nationwide

The Festival of National Sports Games is a Tajikistan-wide sporting event centered on traditional and modern disciplines, run under the National Sports Games Federation established in 2023, with Dushanbe serving as the main host city.

Tajikistan has held a full National Sports Games roughly every four years since at least 2010, with Dushanbe as the central host city and additional competitions distributed to Khorog in the Pamirs, Khujand in the north, and Kulob in the south, reflecting the country's regional geography as much as its sporting ambitions.
