Football is the most popular sport in numerous African countries, and in 2010 South Africa become the first African nation to host the world cup. Some African nations, like Kenya and Ethiopia, are very dominant at long distance running, whilst countries such as Zimbabwe is mainly a Cricketing nation. Rugby and golf are reasonably popular in just a couple of African countries, though rugby is very popular in South Africa.
