Sports

Though many people are unfamiliar with Mozambique, it is impossible to ignore the fact that this country is also very enthusiastic about sports. There are numerous western sports available in the country, the most popular of which is football. The Mozambican Football Federation governs the sport of football in the country of Mozambique. The association is in charge of both the national football team and the national league. Mozambique has produced a number of outstanding players, including Abel Fernando Miglietti. You can also include Alberto da Costa Pereira (goalkeeper), who was a valuable football player.

Other popular sports in the country include basketball, cricket, and volleyball. The women's beach volleyball team finished second at the CAVB Beach Volleyball Continental Cup in 2018-2020. Mozambique's national cricket team represents the country on an international level. Traditional Mozambican sports such as Butterfly, named after the shape of the board, and Capoeira, a form of martial arts, are also gaining popularity. Although capoeira is more commonly associated with Brazil, it is widely practiced in Mozambique as well.
