Let us look at some of the best sports ever graced by England.

Tennis – Wimbledon

The most prestigious Grand Slam with the biggest fan following. The venue where players became Legends. The flush green meadows offer the best platform for the best sporting talents. Winning the finals is a dream and lifting the trophy is prestigious. In the open era, this is perhaps the best individual sport to have graced the world ever. 

The heartbreak that causes to the losers of the finals is immense. Every point won gets applause and every match point saved triggers appreciation. The fans make the event so special. The love for the athletes and the respect they are offered makes the sport a visual delight.

Even the teen group is fought aggressively. Several talented kids from around the world wish to make a mark at this biggest festive fiesta. 

Undoubtedly, this is one of the best and oldest sport that ever-graced England.

Cricket – Lord’s

Another oldest and prestigious venue that hosts Cricket matches. Widely considered as the home of Cricket, this stadium has offered several ODI World Cup matches that are impossible to forget. Every Nation wants to come here and beat England in the Test matches. 

It gives a sense of pride to the players and the team to win matches against England in this venue. The England – Australia rivalry is too intense. The fans have witnessed some of the best sporting moments in this oldest venue. 

A century scored – A five wicket haul – is celebrated by the players and the country. This is perhaps the most beautiful stadium that made Cricket famous around the world.

Football – The Wembley and the Old Trafford (Manchester United)

Arguably the most famous Football stadia in the world with very few other venues that have the same popularity as this one has in World Football. Wembley is the heart of football while Old Trafford is the stadium that every player/fan in the world dreams to be at least once in his life. 

Wembley has hosted several European club finals making it the most prestigious venues. Winning the finals at Wembley gives enormous sense of pride. Pele once even called it the heart of Football.
