Dear Friends and Colleagues in TSG! On the occasion of the New Year 2026, I have the honor, on behalf of the International Council of Traditional Sports and Games (ICTSG), to convey to you and your esteemed institution our respectful greetings and best wishes. The year drawing to a close has once again demonstrated the importance of dialogue, cooperation, and mutual respect among nations in preserving and promoting traditional sports and games as a shared heritage of humanity.
