Traditional sports and games of the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage lists

The article presents an analysis of the correlation between nominal dossiers of traditional sports and games and concepts of the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List. The problem of the lack of a unified approach to the systemic formation of concepts of the game heritage of the List is revealed. On the basis of the ethnosport theory, a draft of new categories is proposed that corresponds to the program's documents and targets of the current activities of the UNESCO Secretariat divisions in the traditional sports and games area.
