Sport is one of the things that brings people together as one. in all international football clubs, the have different players from different countries, but the come together to form a team.

Sport is a physical activity done with skills in which an individual or team competes against each other for entertainment and to find a winner among them.

Describe what sports/game is popular most in your country.?

I am writing from Nigeria. in my country, We do participate in a lot of spot games, but the most popular is football (also called soccer). football is like our favorite games; we do not joke with it.

Some villages In Nigeria play football during Christmas time as part of their celebration, and the winner will be rewarded. Same thing as school: different schools compete with each other every year to see who has the best performance among them.

According to the history of Nigeria, football is believe to be one of the factor that helped us gain independence on October 1, 1960. So the love we have for football can not be compere to any other spots at all.

I'm a lover of football also a fan of Manchester united (Man UTD), so I don't joke with football. During school days, I also participate in playing football.

Is that game played in international competitions like the Olympics or other world championships?

Nigerians players also participate in this competition; infact, the are everywhere, the Play in both world cup and the African cup of nations (AFCON), as well as in other football competition played internationally. By the grace of God, the have been able to win 33 trophies in total.

I'm so proud of Nigeria football clubs (the super eagles), who have been trying their best to participate in all the international football games and have been doing well compere to other spots played in Nigeria.
