It’s by no means a new tradition. However, for some inexplicable reason, this is the first time we have come across any kind of Elephant Football, never mind the Nepalese brand of it. Inexcusable, really. It turns out Elephant Football has been around for seven years as part of an an international elephant festival in Nepal's Chitwan National Park, which brings in thousands of tourists from across the world each year, not to mention millions of pounds for the impoverished country. Quite an anomaly. That being said, I want in. And I think I’ve found the Ronaldo of Elephants.
