Tug of war is an internationally recognized traditional sport with ancient origins in civilizations like Egypt, Greece, China, and India, formerly included in the Olympic Games from 1900 to 1920, and now governed by the Tug of War International Federation (TWIF), which organizes world championships and sets standardized rules for competitions where two teams of eight compete on various surfaces like grass or mats to pull a central rope marker across a line, with divisions based on weight categories such as 640 kg or 720 kg, and the sport is featured in global events like the World Games and regional championships in Asia and Europe, while also existing in diverse cultural forms such as Japan’s *Tsunahiki*, Korea’s *Juldarigi*, India’s *Rassa Kashi*, and various African traditional celebrations, each reflecting local customs, agricultural rituals, and communal strength.

Tarik tali ialah sukan tradisional yang diiktiraf di peringkat antarabangsa dengan asal usul purba dari tamadun seperti Mesir, Greece, China, dan India, pernah menjadi acara rasmi Sukan Olimpik dari tahun 1900 hingga 1920, dan kini dikendalikan oleh Persekutuan Antarabangsa Tarik Tali (Tug of War International Federation, TWIF) yang menganjurkan kejohanan dunia serta menetapkan peraturan standard bagi pertandingan di mana dua pasukan yang masing-masing terdiri daripada lapan orang bersaing di atas permukaan seperti rumput atau tikar untuk menarik penanda tali melepasi garisan tertentu, dengan kategori berat seperti 640 kg atau 720 kg bagi memastikan kesaksamaan, dan sukan ini turut dipertandingkan dalam acara dunia seperti World Games dan kejohanan serantau di Asia serta Eropah, di samping wujud dalam pelbagai bentuk budaya seperti Tsunahiki di Jepun, Juldarigi di Korea, Rassa Kashi di India, dan versi tradisional lain di Afrika yang mencerminkan adat setempat, upacara pertanian, serta semangat kekuatan komuniti.

Tug of war in Malaysia is both a traditional game and a competitive sport practiced across community events, especially during festivals like *Kaamatan in Sabah* and **Gawai in Sarawak**, where it symbolizes unity, strength, and cooperation among indigenous groups such as the **Kadazan-Dusun**, **Iban**, and **Bidayuh**, while in Peninsular Malaysia, it is often included in **school sports days, national-level competitions, and community gatherings**, with formal matches organized under sports associations that follow international rules set by the **Tug of War International Federation (TWIF).

Tarik tali di Malaysia merupakan permainan tradisional dan sukan kompetitif yang diamalkan dalam pelbagai acara budaya dan komuniti, terutamanya semasa perayaan seperti *Kaamatan di Sabah* dan **Gawai di Sarawak**, yang melambangkan perpaduan, kekuatan, dan kerjasama dalam kalangan kumpulan etnik seperti **Kadazan-Dusun**, **Iban**, dan **Bidayuh**, manakala di Semenanjung Malaysia, tarik tali sering diadakan dalam acara sukan sekolah, pertandingan peringkat kebangsaan, dan perhimpunan masyarakat, dengan perlawanan rasmi dianjurkan oleh persatuan sukan yang mengikuti peraturan antarabangsa yang ditetapkan oleh **Persekutuan Antarabangsa Tarik Tali (TWIF).

Tug of war, celebrated as a traditional sport during the Kaamatan Festival in Sabah, Malaysia, is a spirited and culturally meaningful competition where two opposing teams—frequently composed of villagers, youth groups, or district representatives—grasp and pull on a long rope in a physically demanding challenge of collective strength, coordination, and endurance, typically set in open, grassy or muddy fields to add excitement and difficulty, and this game, deeply rooted in the indigenous customs of the Kadazan-Dusun and Murut communities.

Tarik tali, yang diraikan sebagai sukan tradisional semasa Pesta Kaamatan di Sabah, Malaysia, merupakan satu pertandingan yang penuh semangat dan sarat dengan makna budaya di mana dua pasukan yang bertentangan—selalunya terdiri daripada wakil kampung, kumpulan belia, atau daerah—menarik tali panjang dalam cabaran fizikal yang menguji kekuatan bersama, kerjasama, dan ketahanan, lazimnya berlangsung di kawasan lapang yang berumput atau berlumpur untuk menambah keseronokan dan kesukaran, dan permainan ini yang berakar umbi dalam adat masyarakat Kadazan-Dusun.
