Sports in Eritrea primarily consist of football, cycling, and long-distance running.
Football is a popular recreational sport (as it is across the continent), and at a professional level it is played under the authority of the Eritrean National Football Federation. However, Eritrea is best known on the international stage for cycling and running.[1][2]
