The government only supports the national team who faces other teams in other countries like Olympics or SEA games. But the sad part about there is the government won't give some budget to these teams to at least make them comfortable as they are representing the Philippines. The team is responsible for their own budgeting and likely wait for some sponsors.

That's the struggle of athletes in the Philippines. They work hard but the government doesn't support them. They have to work on their own to sustain their needs and some of them are using their own money but the ironic part is when they bring home the medals or crowns, the government honors them and makes it sounds like they have supported their journey. They reward them only when they won.

Exactly! That's why we don't even know who will represent our country in that specific sports/field because the government itself doesn't support them either financially, emotionally, or informationally. We will suddenly know their names and their stories if they got a gold medal but if they don't, sadly, they will remain a stranger to the government and to us.

This surprises me a lot, I thought that the Philippines was a country that totally supports its athletes, however their performance in sports is very good, of a high level, this means that all efforts to represent their country have to go on their own? Does this also apply to boxers? The Filipinos are for me boxing masters, they have a really admirable development in that sport, but when the players arrive with the medals, the government recognizes them and gives them the required help? that is to say, they pay them what they spent and apart from that they don't reward them? at least with money, house, or car? because it is the least they can do to raise their country.

Wrong for India. /We got no national sports/
It was believed that Hockey is the National sports but India does not have a national sports even though the tournaments of cricket are enjoyed all over India and people hype too much I have never seen Rugby being played on the fields, all you are going to see are kids playing kabaddi or Cricket.
Indians do love Football as well, Badminton and hockey ofcourse, but considering the sports like kho-kho which is traditional this is also something that you are going to see everywhere but for betting, it's either cricket or football or hockey or kabaddi mainly.

that's surprising, knowing how big India is and with the number of traditional sports with rich culture and history behind them, I always thought it would be one of them. just curious, do you know the reason why India hasn't picked a National sport?

That's also the reason why there are no specific national sports in our country. Our sports culture has been colonized by other countries. I hope the new administration would notice this problem because, to be honest, we have lots of potential and competitive teams and athletes.

we do have a specific National sport in our country, Arnis has been named as our National sport since 2009. what I do hope is that our Government put an effort into spreading awareness about it.

As long as I know the world of sports, there are some that are quite foreign, such as the sport of Charreria from Mexico. Trying to find information at a glance, it turns out that it is only the name but the game is indeed related to horses. Where I've seen some video footage that uses technical techniques to be able to catch a horse by swinging a rope. No wonder because Mexico is famous for the symbol of the cowboy.

In my country, Football and volleyball are national sports, but the list of sports that are important sports is extensive.

I feel like traditional athletic sports are in a decline.

With younger generations shifting towards an emphasis on video games and esports.

Sports like boxing used to be massive. Boxing gyms used to be crowded with people. Now they're empty. I get the feeling sports stars like Michael Jordan and Tom Brady aren't as famous or revered as they used to be. The olympics no longer has big dollar endorsement deals they have in previous decades.

Whatever national sports are on OP's list. I suspect in the near future they will change.

In the united states recently the NFL has had trouble securing health insurance for concussions and brain injuries. Politicians have proposed removing some of the tax exemptions which sports like the NFL, NBA and MLB enjoy.

I think change is in the air with traditional sports are losing ground. But maybe there is more to this that I am missing.

It depends on a country you are in. It's not for US citizens as most young guys will fall in love with Basketball or American Football (NFL) which is way different from the normal football in European and Asian countries.
As for me, I like basketball more even though that is not the prime choice in our country. But it's a choice that I made back when I was a kid and up until now I am more in love with it following the players movement for a higher chance to win a bet. I never got the liking with football, I don't understand why.

For the PH I have never seen an instance of gambling with our national sport. Heck, if I were to be asked what sport would be where people most bet on, it wouldn't even be basketball or the like, I'd go for cockfighting (which was recently banned, so it might be changed really but the norm is like that here imo). Famous sports as others have said would be basketball though.

National sports in PH keeps changing, It was sipa before and now change to arnis even though the majority of people didn't have idea about it and whose deciding for it.

The government is not prioritizing our sports industry so what's more for promoting our own and give a dedicated national tournament for it and televised for the public awareness. Cockfighting should be the national sports since most Filipino loves it while the government gets a huge pile of money from its tax. Cheesy

Right, I'm also curious about who's deciding these things and consider Arnis as a national sport. I've searched and it shows that it was declared way back in 2009. I don't even know why it's the national sport when it's really rare to see and know people that knows it. Arnis is a kind of sport that is too old.

The government only supports the national team who faces other teams in other countries like Olympics or SEA games.

When it comes to betting yes, they will bet on the same sport because they want to secure the win, you know they are more familiar with it. The rules, the team that plays, etc. There are users that temporarily place a bet on other sports if the main sport that they usually bet on is not yet available.

This is not a bad idea but it is actually beneficial since it increases your gambling/sport knowledge but if it's not about betting like they will just play a normal sport in real life then it is also possible that they can try other sports because playing the same sports for a long time can also be boring and like I said earlier there some advantages with it.

Unfortunately here in our country, the Philippines, our national sports is not even the most talked-about sport here. We are being influenced too much by basketball since then although we are only dominating South East Asia in this sport. I don't know why we still love playing basketball despite the height disadvantages in global competition.

what's even sadder is that there's even not enough competition being held for it. I don't know in other areas, but when I am in high school our arnis club rarely had competitions to attend unlike our taekwondo club, basketball, badminton, volleyball, etc... our school doesn't even have a proper coach for our arnis club at the time(I hope it improved after all these years).

Our government lacks support for sports in our country so potential athletes also lack financial needs for professional training which is necessary for our country to compete in international competitions. That's also the reason why there are no specific national sports in our country. Our sports culture has been colonized by other countries. I hope the new administration would notice this problem because, to be honest, we have lots of potential and competitive teams and athletes.

Though tbf, the change to arnis seems to have given more traction to it? I've seen some local tournaments of arnis before in my college in the past few years afaik. I guess that's one step to it but I don't think it's going to reach the levels of basketball or the like honestly with how much the government isn't really doing anything about it. Most of the people that support it's development are enthusiasts and they can only do so much imo.

Can't deny that. I can't really see how it's so amusing though tbh.

This is nice but maybe there is a more detailed information about other countries, actually in Philippines I remember that our national sports is Sepak Takraw which is really an entertaining game and a little bit hard but double checking it in the internet it is replaced by Arnis, I actually didn't know that but most of the Filipinos really do love basket ball more than the football.

It's really strange I don't see ITALY with National Sport "Soccer" (Football) in this list.
It's something easy

. I think this sport is able to collect likewise 90% of total income / mainstream attention.

Italy is on the full list if you click the source link. Is just some other soccer playing nations are excluded.

Meanwhile, soccer is the king of sports worldwide as we know and this is why nations are "short down" during the world cup, it looks like a collective responsibility for every country to make the world a better place during the world cup, this is symbolic as most important leagues round off to allow players participate to help their motherland take a bite at the game. And I would be thinking if US was known with basketball.

It's normal for people to bet on the games that they like, though people love sports but not most of them will gamble on sports. Bookies will just provide what people would want to bet on, that's why football gains more bets because it's the most popular in the world, and while more and more people learn to gamble, their market will just continue to grow and be more profitable.

It's easy to learn the sports but not so easy to learn how to gamble, especially if we are talking of responsible gambling.

I don't get the point of your forum thread, OP. You are posting a bunch of obvious facts and expect us to discuss them?
Yes, sports like European football, tennis and basketball are pretty much global, while other sports like cricket, rugby, ice hockey, American football and baseball are pretty much tied to one country or a bunch of countries(mostly Anglo-saxon countries like USA, UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and India). And so what? The people are free to bet on their favorite sport. Its doesn't matter if their favorite sport is global or regional. Soccer is the most popular global sport and most people bet on soccer. Soccer is also my favorite sport. I used to care about boxing, tennis, volleyball and basketball(when I was young), but now I care only about soccer.

If you're a sports bettor and bet on other sports once in a while then you might've seen the other popular leagues that are based in certain countries like in the USA there's the NFL and NBA for example while in India there's the IPL. Even though there are different national sports from different countries the only ones that appear in most sportsbooks are the popular ones so sometimes the markets and experience are tough if you plan to bet on the lesser popular leagues that are held in your country.
