We know very little about sports in Tajikistan. We have no information at this time about traditional sports. We do notice that football appears to be a passion among Tajik boys. No matter where you go, you can always observes boys playing football or at least kicking a fooball around. As soon as boys get home from school the footballs come out. This seems to be almost entirely a boy activity. Rarely do you see girls with soccer balls. I'm not sure just when football became popular in Tajikistan. It was obviously duing the Soviet era. We suspect sometime after World War II. We note that sports team uniform items are very popular. The wo most popular in Tajikistan for some reason are Manchester United and Arsenal.
