KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) – Riders from different Afghan provinces compete in the final of Afghanistan’s annual buzkashi tournament on the outskirts of Kabul, as spectators, including Taliban authorities, attend the event.

Buzkashi is a traditional equestrian sport in which riders score points by carrying a goat carcass – nowadays replaced by a fake goat carcass – across a goal.

This is a photo gallery curated by AP photo editors.
