SLC33-W1 || Our Surroundings: Let´s Talk About The News // Share Your Local Sport

Assalamu Alaikum,

I am starting by wishing all my Steemit friends good health. Alhamdulillah, by the grace of Allah, I am very well. Today, I will share with you about the popular football game in our area through a great contest in the first week of the Engagement Challenge. So let's get started.

What sport is played near your house?

Our house is located in a village and compared to the city, there is more open space in the village, so children of all ages get the opportunity to play various types of sports. However, although children in our area play various types of sports, three games are quite popular, namely football, cricket, and carrom. Currently, the World Cup football game is going on and the people of our country are quite interested in playing football. I have seen that currently most of the football games in our area are played by boys. There are empty spaces in our area where boys can easily build a field and play football. Football is a game that girls can enjoy as a visitor even if they do not play.

Football game.

Two sides are playing football.

Football is a game where there are two sides and everyone plays with joy and the spectators enjoy the game with joy. There are goalkeepers on both sides of the two sides and the team that is given the ball is behind and the team that gives the ball is ahead. Each team has a total of 11 players. This game has to be played in many places and the game is quite fun. This game is mainly seen playing in the afternoon. Football is played almost every day in the Telenagar Balur field, but the game is stopped when it rains.

Who else plays the game you are talking about? Do you also play?

Football is a special game in which almost everyone, young and old, participates. Football is usually played by both boys and girls. However, in our area, boys give more priority to this game than girls. Almost every afternoon, young and old boys and girls play football in the sandy field next to the road, and children and adults who like football stand or sit here and watch the football game.

When I was a child, I played football with my cousins, but after growing up, I can only enjoy the joy of the game as a visitor. I like playing football and I often stand outside in this field and watch football games. Because the natural environment around this field is very beautiful, especially in the afternoon. It is true that playing football is a game that helps us exercise our body and keep our body healthy.

How is the playing area? Is it an ideal place? Is the playing facility government or private?

I have already said that there are various vacant places in our area and a lot of vacant places are needed for playing football which is available in our area. So I think this sand field on the side of the road in Telinagar is a very ideal place for playing football. It goes without saying that there is no government sports facility in our area. That is, privately, there is an empty place or field in our area where boys and girls can play according to their convenience. If you see the picture or video, you will understand how happily the players are playing football on the field.

This place is filled with sand by the owner of a company and this place has been lying empty for the last few years. So the players of the area have built a football or cricket field here.

What equipment do they use? What is the condition of them? How much does each equipment cost?

The game is made with two sides and there are goal bars on both sides and the game is played with football. Many times the players wear jerseys to play this game, in that case the jerseys can be valued at a prize. However, in most cases, players wear their own personal jerseys. I have talked to a sportsperson and got an idea about the cost of sports equipment and the prices of some equipment for this sport are mentioned below.

Name	BD Prize	Steam Prize
Football	1000-2000	200-400
Goalkeeper's net	1000-1200	200-240
Pillars	500-600	100-120
Goalkeeper's gloves	300-400	60-80

How does this sport help in the development of players or participants?

This is a great question because sports are a part of our good health or education. Along with studying, we have to play sports which keeps our health and mind in good shape. In addition, playing football is a game where players trust each other, increase physical ability, and develop mentally by participating. Since the two sides play as a team, tolerance and discipline towards teamwork are developed. Through hard work, the morale to win is built and the effort to accept defeat and bounce back is created, which can make a good person. That is, we can learn a lot from playing football and our talent is developed.

What is the environmental impact of this game on the surrounding area?

Of course, this game has a huge environmental impact on the surrounding area. Football requires two sides and many players to play. Therefore, many people from the surrounding area can participate in this game, which strengthens the relationship with each other. In addition, this game is not limited to players, many people enjoy watching the game. Therefore, people from the surrounding area also come here to spend time, which creates a bond of love and trust for each other. People from the surrounding area can check up on each other. There are wins and losses in this game, but still good relations are maintained between the two sides.

Boys from the surrounding area participate in this game, although it is a temporary playground. However, sometimes when playing as a tournament, many people come here who eat different types of food or water, which pollutes the environment due to the use of polythene or plastic. However, I have seen that there is no much dirt on this field because the players try to keep the field or outside the field clean.

Environmental Impact (including photos and videos) and Location (Steam Atlas Pin)

The open field is located in the beautiful natural environment of the village and is adjacent to the main road, so players can play with pleasure and visitors can also enjoy the game effortlessly. The video and Steam Atlas Pin are mentioned below.
