Australia, the sporting nation
In Australia, sport is often likened to religion due to its avid following. The AFL remains a favorite among Australian consumers, and is played by hundreds of thousands of participants, making it one of the leading team sports for participation in the country. Alongside AFL, games like cricket, basketball, netball, and soccer are popular both for participation and spectating. However, typically individual sports such as recreational walking, gym fitness, athletics, and swimming remain Australia’s most popular participation sports.
