READ THE FOLLOWING TEXT ABOUT FOOTBALL IN BRITAIN AND DECIDE WHETHER THE PROPOSED
CLAIMS ARE TRUE OR FALSE:
“A number of major sports originated in the United Kingdom, including football (soccer), rugby football (rugby),
golf, cricket, tennis and boxing.

The pre-eminent sport in the UK is football. The UK does not compete as a nation in any major football tournament.
Instead, the home nations compete individually as England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. It is because of
this unique four-team arrangement that the UK currently does not compete in football events at the Olympic
Games. However, a united team will probably take part in the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, as these will be
hosted in London. The English and Northern Irish football associations have confirmed participation in this team
while the Scottish FA and the Welsh FA have declined to participate.

The UK also hosts many world-renowned football clubs, such as Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal in
England and Celtic and Rangers in Scotland. Clubs compete in national leagues and competitions and some go on to
compete in European competitions. British teams are generally successful in European Competitions, including the
following European Cup/UEFA Champions League winners: Liverpool (five times), Manchester United (twice),

Gaelic football and hurling are popular sports in Northern Ireland with the counties of Tyrone and Armagh both
being very successful in Gaelic football in recent years. Although not as popular across the whole country, shinty or
camanachd (a sport derived from the same root as the Irish hurling and similar to bandy) is popular in the Scottish
Highlands, sometimes attracting crowds numbering thousands in the most sparsely populated region of the UK.”
