It is played on a field similar to a football field, but the outfield players ride motorcycles to control and kick a large ball.The objective is simple: score more goals than the opposing team. Each team has several players on motorcycles and a goalkeeper who plays on foot. Players must be able to control their motorcycle while handling the ball and working with their teammates. The motorcycles used are specially adapted for motoball to provide greater protection and maneuverability. The sport therefore requires good reflexes, balance, speed, and good physical fitness.Motoball developed mainly in Europe and has a strong tradition in France. Although it is less well known than football or motor sports, it is very spectacular thanks to the speed of the motorcycles and the many duels.In short, motoball is a unique sport that combines speed, skill, and teamwork. It is an original discipline that is worth discovering. (Photo by Alex MARTIN / AFP via Getty Images)
