2 Who else practices the sport you're describing? Do you practice it too?

I just can't seem to know why I am not good at playing football, but all my brothers are really good at football, with two of my brothers playing as left-wingers and my little brother as a center back. I can't say that I am good at football, but I am really good at playing basketball, but I play sometimes to get busy.

Football is a game of love and peace; it is seen in how you see most individuals in different fields of life celebrating the Ronaldo "SUI" and "CLAMA". I can't say I am good at football, but I love the game and like to see players do great on the pitch. I am looking forward to watching the World Cup final on 19th July 2026, 3:00 p.m. EDT (8:00 p.m. BST).

3 What is the playing area like? Is it an ideal place? Is the facility public or private?

The playing environment is a beautiful surrounding that is partly covered with grass; what makes it unique is the fact that the wings are steep and balanced on both sides, testing the players' ball control, strength, and stamina. It's a place I would say is a private place, as it is only open to individuals residing at the 245 Recce Battalion.

I would say that the pitch is an ideal environment for a football match because the pitch is in good condition, with the ground being free from harmful objects. The areas where they are no grass are also flat. Whether it's for training or a competition, the 245 battalion park is got you covered, also having a volleyball court and a badminton court as well. What I like most is the availability of wooden chairs for visitors to get comfortable.

4 What equipment do they use? What condition is it in? How much does each piece of equipment cost?

The battalion park is well equipped with a lot of footballs and beeps for players, enabling players to have a great time playing. Since all sporting activities are overseen by the battalion headquarters, all equipment needed for matches, both important and mere training, is always in great condition and, in most cases, brand new.

Equipment	price(₦)	Steem
Football	25,000-30,000	445-534
Jersey	6,000	106
Beep	25,000 for 11 players	445

5 How does the sport benefit the development of the players or participants?

Football is known to be the number one sport in the world, doesn't just offer entertainment and fun but also benefits. Football plays a vital role in the lives of players by improving their mental, physical, and social well-being. You will notice that players are usually in good shape and always free from obesity. Apart from the outstanding physical gain of the sport, you will also get to learn about discipline, resilience, focus, and most especially the ability to stay calm under pressure.

The sport teaches that you will win some and sometimes lose some. Helping you accept the downs of life as a lesson to keep moving forward, just as they keep training regularly, also helping build teamwork and division of labour amongst players. The sport also makes captains become better leaders, make good decision and development problem-solving skills, and time management skills. For many participants, football creates opportunities for education, scholarships, professional careers, and long-lasting friendship. Making it a powerful tool for personal growth and community development.

6 What environmental impact does this sport have on the surrounding area?

In terms of positive environmental impacts, it helps in protecting the open green space from becoming barren and unutilized or getting used for dumping garbage. The presence of trees around the football field helps in making the environment cool and breathable because of the shade provided by the trees. This is helpful for the health of players and people who watch the game. Moreover, it helps in building up the community and its participation in sporting activities and recreation.

There are also some environmental impacts of playing football which can be negative. One of them is that constant running on the football field causes damage to the grass, which results in exposing the land, which becomes susceptible to erosion due to rainwater. In addition to this, waste produced by spectators and players can cause pollution to the environment.

7 Environmental impact & (With pictures + videos) & Location (Steem Atlas pin)

There are several positive aspects that football has on the surrounding environment because it creates a gathering point for many people in a nice, clean, and healthy environment outside. The spaciousness of the field makes players more active in spending time in nature among greenery and fresh air instead of staying at home all the time. As can be seen from the photos, there are some trees around the pitch, which create a nice shady area where it is nice to train and play.

Moreover, this sport helps participants take care of their surroundings because they use the field quite often, so they have to keep it clean and protected from any harm, which will help to develop environmental awareness among players and other community members.
