Sport in the United Kingdom plays an important role in the British culture.

 The United Kingdom has a long history of sport, there are a large number of sports such as Rugby, Golf, Tennis, badminton, cricket and the most popular one is association football. However, the structure of the UK sport usually appears irregular since each sport has created in its own individual way. Thus, sports have been played in different places and in different locations such as Scotland, Wales, North Ireland and England.  Therefore, the UK government has established lots of perfect facilities across the country and every area has own facilities. As a result of excellent facilities across the UK, Football game in the UK has been considering the most popular sport in the world and the majority of people are watching this game in different times. For example, the English International team one of the strong and excellent team on the world. In addition, the English football League System which known as Football pyramid, one of the famous system so far, because of some reasons which consisted of  amazing stadiums, global coaches, special schools to learn football and the high salary. All these advantages have led players to put target front of them and also players will be motivated to do all the best they can, the good example of that is David Beckham whose model role in the world. Hence, I will continue to present and describe one of the famous stadiums in the world which is Wembley Stadium in London and other stadium in the England, Manchester and off course the nice city Cardiff. Wembley has a capacity about 90,000, but for save and comfortable the capacity has reduced to 60,000. The stadium not only used for football but also for several sports such as Athletics, Rugby League and Union, Motor Racing and American football. Another popular stadium is called Twickenham which located in London as well. In addition, there is a popular one in Manchester which called Old Trafford with good capacity about 75, 957, as well as there is another one which located in different cities like Newcastle, Sunderland, Liverpool, Leicester and so forth. I would like to sum up that sport in the United Kingdom is really popular to British people across the whole UK, and everyone in the UK at least know even a little bit about different sports. Thus, it is so known and part of their life in particular Football and Rugby. I am really delighted to obtain such   information about it and also I am advising international students to visit some stadium such as Millennium stadium in Cardiff, which is actually one of famous stadium in the United Kingdom.
One of the unusual sports which is actually played in the United Kingdom included the 'Man versus Horse Marathon, a famous race in Wales that pits a man against a horse that combines a cross-country marathon race and an obstacle course; office depot jousting, which involves several teams of two players each, in which one player in a team sits in a chair and propels himself, while his teammate pushes the chair down the aisle of a store, dodging the rivals who attempt to hit each other with garden hoes. However, the unusual sport in the Great Jamahiriya is camel racing which is considering seasonal sport. That means this kind of sport has occurred every spring, but the participates must be men and not allowed for women to participate as well as the course distant about 10 KM and  ages requirement is upon 20 years old. The participates are from different cities and different location. Additionally, the winner rewards 10,000£ and car kind of Toyota Land cruiser.
