Traditional Langa Match Organized In Kano By Two Local Governments (Photos)
Langa
is a traditional Hausa sport where two teams come together to play.
It's a hopping game of standing/walking/running with one leg while
holding the other leg with the opposite hand(Lago). This game is usually
played by children under the age of 15.
Before the game starts both teams will select a prime player(Ruwa) whose teammates will protect at all cost to enable him win by reaching the other team's post.
When the game begins, the teams will struggle to eliminate their opponents by dislodging their Lago, when a team succeeded in disentangling the other team's Ruwa, it's a win added to their score.
On sunday 2nd july 2017 the people of Makera Ja'en ward in Gwale local govt and Zawaciki ward of Kumbotso local govt both in Kano state organized a Langa match between their youths, choosing 6 players per team. Other excited youths that wanted to participate also form their teams and wait for their turn to play.
While they play, the elderly, other youths, children and women watch and cheer them concurrently reminiscing on nostalgic memories.
