Women from the northern village of Turucu in Ecuador play Anaco-skirted handball. Invented by women in the Indigenous Quichua community, where only men played a sport, the new women-only game lasts for two 25-minute halves. The pitch is almost half the size of a traditional football pitch. You can't push opponents or grab their arms, and you can't kick the ball, which is always carried with both hands.

Le nouveau jeu, réservé aux femmes dure deux mi-temps de 25 minutes et les joueuses ont pour objectif de s'emparer du ballon et de le lancer dans le but de leur adversaire.

Cette discipline sportive a été inventée par les femmes de la communauté indigène Quichua. Et pour la doyenne de l'équipe, María Dolores Guandinango Vásquez, 58 ans, le jeu permet d'oublier les tracas de la vie quotidienne.
