What is the most popular sport in Italy? The question is simple and is answered in a green rectangle: football. The recipe for happiness through kicking a ball. No expensive equipment, just a pair of shoes with cleats and a ball to put on a show. A sport that can be played anywhere, from the backstreets of cities to the big stadiums of the world.

Football is, without any doubt, the most popular sport in Italy and in the world. The reason is simple: it can be played anywhere. A cynical eye might consider football to be the sport of the little people, as all that is needed is a pair of slippers to form the goal and a ball to kick.
