中美洲蹴球

座落在奇琴伊察的蹴球場。

中美洲蹴球納瓦特爾語ōllamalīztli納瓦特爾語發音:[oːlːamaˈlistɬi]馬雅語系語言:pitz;英語:Mesoamerican ballgame)是一種流行於古代中部美洲具有儀式關聯的體育活動阿茲特克版本的此類活動,是今墨西哥錫那羅亞州Ulama(或作Ollama)球類運動的前身。[1]

中美洲蹴球有其重要儀式意義,主要的正式球賽都是作為儀式活動而舉行。這項運動也被作為兒童遊戲進行,且女性也可能從事於這種運動。[2]

這種球賽與活人獻祭有關,尤其是斬首。例如,埃爾塔欣有石板雕刻一個在球場上被犧牲的人,而奇琴伊察也有石板則雕刻一名被斬首且跪著的球賽參與者,蛇和植物從他的脖子上長出來,凸顯犧牲血液的再生滋養力量。與這種球賽相關的祭祀主題藝術遍佈整個中部美洲,從危地馬拉南海岸Bilbao遺址的雕塑,到發現於墨西哥中部的文獻資料中。在基切人的《波波爾·烏》也描述有關傳說故事。然而,儘管犧牲與球賽有密切聯繫,但其中犧牲的確切機制和意義仍無法被確認;目前仍無法確知是什麼人會被犧牲、在何種場合下犧牲,以及這種犧牲與球賽本身有何關聯。[3]

被發現有早於公元前1000年有關文物的遺址(以紅點標示)的地圖。
