Sport

Outdoor activities including hill climbing, mountain biking, rock climbing, skiing, snowboarding, hiking, and mountain climbing are all possible in Tajikistan's highlands. However, there are only a few amenities. Local and international alpine organizations conduct seasonal mountain climbing and hiking tours to the Fann and Pamir Mountains, including the 7,000 m peaks in the area.

In Tajikistan, football is the most popular sport. The national football team of Tajikistan plays in AFC and FIFA tournaments. The Tajik League features the top clubs in Tajikistan. Since Tajikistan's independence, four of its athletes have brought home Olympic gold. Yusup Abdusalomov, a wrestler, won silver in Beijing in 2008; Rasul Boqiev, a judoka, won bronze; Mavzuna Chorieva, a boxer, won bronze in London in 2012; and Dilshod Nazarov, a hammer thrower, won gold in Rio in 2016.
