The residents of Australia are known to sport a lot. When walking through a park, you’ll likely see people jogging, or playing a sport.

One of the most attended sports is Australian Rules Football, also known as ‘footy’ or ‘Aussie rules’. This sport is played between two teams of eighteen players on an oval-shaped grass surface. Other popular sports are football, cricket, basketball, tennis and golf.

Football is well-known around the world. It is played by two teams, each consisting of eleven players. Teams achieve points by kicking the ball in the goal of the opponent. Although regular football is less played in Australia compared to the rest of the world, it is still one of the most popular activities.

The second most popular sport in the world, is cricket. Cricket is played by two teams. The teams ‘bowl’ the ball and ‘bat’ it with a club. The team with the largest number of ‘runs’ has the highest amount of points, and wins.
