That's true. They call it 'Buzkashi.' Actually, several countries have similar games, with minor differences. 'Pato' is one of the few that actually uses a net goal, unlike the Mongolian or Afghanistan versions. By the way, neither of the countries use a human head any longer, which was the original 'ball' for the Mongols and the Afghanis. The original 'ball' for Pato was a duck!
If you get tired of guessing, Google 'Pato Game' and you can see it and where it's played. Otherwise....
.....where is 'Pato' played?
