Description
South Sudan traditional wrestling is predominantly practice in Dinka Bor of Jonglei state as well as Aliap and Atuot of Awerial and Yirol counties of Lakes state respectively. The Mundari tribe in Teregeka county of Central Equarotia state also wrestles.
Southern wrestling is traditionally between youths from rival tribes in cattle camps, but eventually groups aim to professionalize southern wrestling and move it beyond “social pride and fame.”
