Bored of the World Cup? Try the crazy game of swamp soccer instead
- 6 years ago
St. Petersburg-based women's football team G-Force score in a mad game of "swamp soccer" or "swamp football".
Swamp football is basically exactly what the name suggests: football played in an extreme bog or swamp. Participants wade through thick mud, often up to their knees, trying to score goals against the opposing team.
The sport is popular in Russia, Scotland and Finland, from where the sport is thought to have originated. No surprises, perhaps, from the country that brought the world other treasures such as the Wife Carrying World Championships.
