Ulama is making a comeback in Mexico. Once played by the Aztecs, Maya, and Incas, this ballgame carries cultural significance. As with most indigenous traditions and cultures in Mesoamerica, the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors pushed it to the brink of extinction. But it refused to die. While modern football emerged as the most-loved, most-followed sport, this traditional game has been quietly fighting its way back into the lives of Mexicans.

Here are a few glimpses from an ulama championship in Mexico City.
