Football is the most popular sport here. Tennis, swimming and basketball attracts attention of people.I like watching all brances of olympic games as well as tennis and swimming sports. I used to play table tennis and basketball at the free time when I was student in the university.
Unfortunately my country should have made some arrangments in order to progress in sport and get international grades.

In my country the most practiced and watched sport is football because I think is really easy to understand and play and besides that you can play it everywhere. Other sport really popular and practiced just in my country is "Ecuavolley" this sport is a variant of volleyball, it differs in the number of players and in the ways you can hit the ball. I usually play football and volley with my friends. Another sport that is taking force in the recent years in Ecuador is cycling.

Football is the most popular sport in my country, there are a million fans and supporters here like it. They like both watching and playing it. Because it is an affordable type of sport just only you need a ball. It is a game of skill, where ball control is far more important than physical conditioning, even children play it in the street every day. Also, here adore with the world cup matches. The second sport here is handball. The Egyptian handball team is more successful than the football one. We made it to the Olympics more than any other sport and achieved higher worldwide rankings than any other sport.
I used to play handball when I was a child. Nowadays I play it, with my friend when we have free time. It’s always a bit of a rush and I never get a chance to really enjoy it properly, so I wish I had more time for that.
