The Naadam Festival is observed in Mongolia every year from July 11 to July 13. This traditional three-day festival celebrates the Mongolian Revolution of 1921 and the establishment of the Mongolian People's Republic. Recognized by UNESCO as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, Naadam features three main sporting competitions known as "the three games of men": Mongolian wrestling, horse racing, and archery. While wrestling remains an all-male sport, women have begun participating in horse racing and archery. The largest celebrations take place at the National Sports Stadium in Ulaanbaatar, where an opening ceremony showcases athletes, horse riders, dancers, and musicians, followed by the competitions. Mongolian wrestling is particularly significant, with tournaments typically involving 512 or 1024 wrestlers, while horse races are cross-country events that allow children to act as jockeys. Archery competitions are conducted in teams of ten, allowing both men and women to compete.
