Bhutan's Archery League Asks Fans to Pay More to Watch Games
In Bhutan, the archery league is asking fans to pay a little more to watch the matches.
They want to make the sport better, like the big leagues where people pay to watch.
The league said that the money helps the players and the sport to grow, as equipment is expensive and the rewards are minimal.
Archery is important in Bhutan, but it needs more money to get better.
They are also asking archers not to wear special military clothes when they are playing.
Bhutan's Druk Premier League urges fans to pay more than 50 Nu for archery matches.
The league's social media post highlighted the importance of financial contributions for sport development.
The post compares the situation to professional leagues like IPL and Premier League where people pay to watch.
Archery is a deeply rooted part of Bhutanese culture, but faces challenges in professionalization.
A recent order forbade civilian archers from wearing military sashes at archery events.
