As part of the upcoming World Nomad Games, which will take place in Kyrgyzstan, 43 different types of competitions are planned. This was announced by Kazibek Moldazhiyev, the director of the State Agency for Physical Culture and Sports, during a meeting of the parliamentary committee dealing with issues of science, education, culture, sports, and youth policy.

He also noted that only 17 sports were represented at the first games.

They plan to attract athletes from 100 countries to participate in the sixth World Nomad Games, and invitations have already been sent out, Moldazhiyev added.

Among the competitions, kok boru and kokpar will be presented as separate disciplines. The kok boru competitions will be held according to Kyrgyzstan's rules, while kokpar will follow Kazakhstan's rules.

It is worth recalling that during the World Nomad Games 2024 in Astana, an incident occurred during a kokpar match between the teams of Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. During the game, a player from the Kazakhstan team struck an opponent from Kyrgyzstan with a whip, leading to a mass brawl and the suspension of the match to clarify the circumstances.

As a result of that match, the Kyrgyzstan team lost to Kazakhstan by a narrow score of 5:4. After the competitions, the Kyrgyz Kok Boru Federation expressed dissatisfaction with the officiating, calling it unfair.
