The International Council of Traditional Sports and Games (ICTSG) is a non-governmental organisation that seeks to protect and promote traditional sports and games (TSG). With globally-coordinated efforts to preserve TSGs starting around 1990, the ICTSG was proposed in 2018 at the 4th UNESCO Collective Consultation on Traditional Sports and Games held at Istanbul, Turkey. The ICTSG organises global and continental games, and hosts the ICTSG Online Encyclopedia of Traditional Sports and Games.
