Sport and Cultural Geography

Sport and Cultural Geography is the study of how sports and culture influence and shape places and communities. It examines the relationship between geographical features—like mountains, cities, or climate—and sporting activities, as well as how cultural practices, traditions, and identities affect sports. This field explores issues like regional sports popularity, the impact of global sporting events on local cultures, and how physical spaces are designed for sports. By understanding these connections, we can appreciate how sports reflect and transform cultural identities and regional characteristics around the world.
