Argentina-Information
Sports
Football is Argentina's greatest passion. There
are 17 stadiums in the city, most of them big enough to hold 40,000 spectators
or more. The sport of pato (duck, in Spanish) is native to Argentina. Originally
played with a live duck, pato consists of two teams on horseback battling for
control of a ball with handles. Argentina is also home to the world's finest
polo players. Other popular sports are tennis, field hockey, rugby, volleyball,
basketball, and skiing.
