Sports

Sports are an important element of every day life in Buenos Aires. This is shown in the following events that took place in the city: two volleyball world championships, one basketball world championship, one soccer world championship, countless Davis Cups, fights for the boxing world title, Formula 1 races, international rugby matches. Every year, the International Open Tennis Tournament and the Polo Open take place in the city.

In Buenos Aires, there are newspapers, supplements, radio and television programs exclusively devoted to sports. A characteristic situation in the city may be observed on a Sunday afternoon when people walk around with their radios close to their ear listening to the broadcast of soccer matches.
