Kihsantatta or just Tatta, and also known as Kihsanball, is a close-contact team based sport that originated from Kihsan University in the mid 24th century. Part of the Katabola family of team-based sports; Kihsantatta is played by two teams of 17 players each, who predominantly hold an oval-shaped ball around an oval-shaped pitch for 100 minutes, split into two 50-minute halves. Kihsantatta is a popular sport throughout the world and most prevalently in Ceironia, Azaria and Qatesh. In 2542, there were an estimated 180 million people playing worldwide, with 3,760,000 registered professional players.
The Federation of International Kihsantatta Associations (FIKA) has been the global governing body of Kihsantatta since 2388.
