Great Balls of Fire! New Indonesian Football Style Features with Flaming Ball

Description

Your eyes aren't playing tricks on you, this Indonesian version of football actuallly features a flaming ball. Participants douse a coconut in flammable fluid and set it on fire before kicking it between teammates and attempting to score in the opposing team's goal. The coconut husk burns for several dozen minutes, so the games last until the fire goes out, but luckily, there's no shortage of coconuts in Indonesia. Fireball football is a favorite pasttime of students of the Riyadhlus Solihin Islamic boarding school in Mojolaban on the island of Java and they light up coconuts after evening prayers.
