Origins
Landa is a sport created in 2021 in Malta. It was invented by Jamie Paul Spiteri, Jyle Bartolo and Matthias Bonnici. On 19th January 2022, The Landa Federation was established with the 3 creators serving as co-presidents of the federation.

How To Play
In order to play, the players must decide on how many rounds will be played, then, someone must pull out a coin. Then all the players stand next to each other in a line and the coin is thrown. Once the coin is thrown, all the players must run after it and try to pick it up. If no one is able to pick it up right away, the players must fight each other until someone gets the coin. The process is repeated until all rounds are played. Once the game is over, the players see who won the most rounds. The person who won the most rounds wins the game.

Rules
The following rules were officially established by the Landa Federation:


 * The thrower must not throw the coin backwards


 * Players shall not step on each other's hands when trying to pick up the coin


 * Players must not hit each other's faces


 * Players must not attempt to move the coin while it's still rolling
