Is there a sport that originated in your country / region? Was it so well designed that it is now played around the globe or was it to weird to spread? In both cases, tell us about it!
Czech republic has produced at least one sport of the second kind: Czech handball. It's so bizzarre hardly anyone plays it. It was designed in 1905 for women with intention to make the normal international handball less prone to injuries. I've only seen one match on TV so far and I can tell you, they failed. In addition to unusualy shaped goals and the fact that defenders can't attack and attackers can't defend (which may make you wait long minutes before you get in action), the attackers only and not the defenders are allowed in the goal area where they can safely move but they are not allowed to shoot. So they are tempted to step outside just with one foot, quickly turn and score - I don't have to explain this generates tremendous opportunities for fauls, falls and twisted ankles... You can find the details here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech_handball
My favourite minority sports come from the countries/regions the following guys live in:

Hopefully they won't disappoint us and they'll add few lines about them. 😉
On top of that, I have a suspicion that those colleagues below will have something to share as well...
