Who to follow & where to watch

Australians love sport, but unlike most other countries, we don’t have a national sport. Instead, people play and watch many sports, depending on the season and their preference. Sydney is no different, with well-supported teams in football, rugby, cricket, Aussie rules football (AFL) and more. This guide will help you pick the right sport and team for you.
