CharrerĂ­a has been the official national sport of Mexico since 1933. Similar to a rodeo, the sport centers on teams of horseback riders, the games are typically played on Sundays, and they're very popular among certain communities, according to Culture Trip. CharrerĂ­a was created in the western part of the country after the Spanish imported horses to Mexico in the 16th century. Farm workers participated in the games, known as charreadas, to demonstrate their skills riding horses. The National Charro Association was established in 1921.

Today, the games features nine different events, or "suertes," as well as a female riding event. Participants get their start in the sport when they're as young as three years old and master several skills involving speed and precision. They must also learn how to control the horses and get them to perform a variety of tasks, such as stopping suddenly.

You can also find the sport being played in parts of the United States, such as Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, which were once part of the Mexican Republic.
