<p>Everyone played sports maybe not now but we did play in childhood, Right? So here we are going to learn about the national sports of countries.</p>

<p>The national sports day is celebrated every year on 29th August. Some countries have officially declared their national sports and some countries haven&#39;t declare any but due to some reason a particular sport in the country reached the pinnacle in the nation. For example, Field hockey was considered to be the National Game of the country because of its golden era period from 1928 to 1956 when India won 6 successive gold medals at Olympics. The Government of India never declared hockey as the national sport (sourced by an RTI).</p>

<h2><strong>De Jure National Sports</strong></h2>

<p>These sports are officially declared as the national sports by the law of the land. De Jure means according to the law. Here is a table which makes the connection between the De Jure national sports of the country.</p>

<table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="width:300px">

<h2><strong>De Facto National Sports</strong></h2>

<p>These sports are NOT officially declared as the national sports by the law of the land. De Facto means holding a specified position in fact but not necessarily by legal right. Most countries including India have de-facto national sports. Here is a table which makes the connection between the De Facto national sports of the country.</p>
