Football Champions in Bukhara

Boys enjoy football near the Ark, historical fortress located in the city of Bukhara, Uzbekistan.

They were incredibly active, judge was whistling, one boy was fighting, another one was rushing to the group to be in the photo.

 

The Ark is a massive fortress located in the city of Bukhara, Uzbekistan that was initially built and occupied around the 5th century AD. In addition to being a military structure, the Ark encompassed what was essentially a town that, during much of the fortress' history, was inhabited by the various royal courts that held sway over the region surrounding Bukhara. The Ark was used as a fortress until it fell to Russia in 1920. Currently, the ruins of the Ark are a tourist attraction and house museums covering its history. Source:Wikipedia
