Spanish about Sports – Vocabulary and Phrases

Are you going to practice a sport with your Spanish-speaking friends ? Do you have to write a text in Spanish about sports ? You’ve come to the right place!

In this post, we will first learn  some phrases  about sports. Then we have several  vocabulary lists .

Notice that, when we talk about playing a sport using the verb “jugar” , we need the preposition “a” preceding the sport . And because most sports are masculine nouns, in that case “a + el” becomes “al” .

Yo juego al fútbol. I play soccer. Tú juegas al baloncesto. You play basketball.

Vocabulary: Sports and Athletes

Other vocabulary.

Juego al tenis todas las semanas . I play tennis every week. ¿Quieres jugar al tenis conmigo? Do you want to play tennis with me? Nadar es muy bueno para la salud .

The match ended 3 -2. ¿Qué deportes practicas habitualmente? What sports do you play regularly? Practico bádminton y tenis de mesa. I practice badminton and table tennis.

In most sports, the words for the people that practice them fall into one of these 2 categories:

• Ending in “-ista” for both male and female ( “el futbolista, la futbolista” )

Other examples:

• Ending in “-or” for male and “-ora” for female :

There are a few exceptions that don’t fall into those 2 categories. For example, “atleta” is athlete for both male and female ( “el atleta, la atleta” )

46 sports names in Spanish

The whole world is wild about sports. But do you know all the different sports names in Spanish? Can you chat with other sports fans or play sports with your Spanish-speaking friends? No need to worry. We’ve got you covered. 

Sports names in Spanish can range from obvious cognates to new words that seem to come out of left field (that’s a béisbol reference). You already know why this vocabulary is important. People in the United States say “soccer,” while the rest of the world calls it football. Many sports names in Spanish, such as fútbol , are fairly clear to any listener. But what about a sport like baloncesto (basketball)? Let’s get into the names of sports in Spanish so you can talk about last night’s big game with ease. 

A list of sports in Spanish

• Different countries, different sports in Spanish

How to use sports names in Spanish

Learn languages at your pace.

Even between British and American English, sports names can vary. What’s “football” in England is “soccer” in the United States. This is all to say that using different vocabulary in different countries is natural. The same is true for sports names in Spanish. 

Let’s start with a basic list of sports names in Spanish. Below, we include the article in Spanish ( el or la ) to help you learn not only the word but its gender , too. In English, we don’t say “the basketball,” so we have omitted those articles.

The names for sports in Mexican Spanish

Different countries sometimes have different sports names in Spanish. In Mexico, it’s unlikely that you’ll hear baloncesto (basketball). Most people call it el básquet , the shortened version of básquetbol. Same with el fut or el box . 

El fútbol americano (American football) is not unheard of in Mexico, as well. If you move to Mexico , you probably won’t be playing full-contact American football. Instead, you’ll probably play el tocho bandera or tochito (flag football). 

Another special sport in Mexico is lucha libre , or Mexican wrestling, in which colorful characters wear their trademark brightly colored face masks. Lucha libre is fought between the heroes ( técnicos ) and the villains ( rudos ). Whether you believe the fighting is real or staged, the athleticism required for the high-flying moves is impressive. Lucha libre is a treasured national pastime in Mexico and fans go absolutely wild for it.

When using these sports names in Spanish, you’ll typically pair them with the verb jugar (to play) or hacer (to do). For example:

• Juego ajedrez con mis amigas. (I play chess with my friends.)
• Hago natación tres veces por semana. (I go swimming three times per week.)

Some sports use the verb form of the word, such as surfear (to surf) , bucear (to dive) and correr (to run). To use these sports in a sentence, conjugate the verb as you would normally.

• Surfeamos en Nicaragua. (We surf in Nicaragua.)
• He buceado en el Caribe. (I have gone diving in the Caribbean Sea.)
• Ella corre cada mañana. (She runs every morning.)

Here’s more on how to talk about fútbol , the beautiful game. 

Talk sports using sports names in Spanish

Whether you’re talking about a pro soccer game or playing sports yourself, every sports fan needs sports names in Spanish in order to chat. Sports are a great way to make friends and learn about local culture. Sports topics even come up in business meetings. You don’t need to memorize a bunch of statistics, but you should know the basic vocabulary. With these sports names in Spanish, you can talk about your hobbies and meet new people at the next big game.

Patient Care Team Analysis

Having worked at the Riverside Community Hospital for a little over a year now has given me insight on what a patient care team is like. However, I still do not fully understand the scope of healthcare and how it works in different types of communities. Since I was born in a middle-class suburban, I have little to no exposure to what is it like living in an underserved community and how the healthcare system works. Whenever I went to the doctors, it seemed as if there was only one person who was in the patient care team, the doctor. However, working at the community hospital has showed me what I believe a true patient care team, which includes all the nurses, volunteers, and health care workers. While I volunteered there, I was shown what it

The Culture Of Soccer Is More Than Just Articles

The culture of soccer is more than just articles written in sport pages, or rumors about players been transferred from one club to another. It includes a bigger picture that covers many different social, political and economic aspects of the game. In countries where the sport is not that relevant, people refer to it as soccer. In others where the sport is very popular and has been around for a long time, it is referred to as football. When it comes to the sport, there are two very different ideas relevant to how people view it. In said countries where soccer is the national sport, the game is viewed as if it can achieve anything; from having just fun with your friends to helping unite people from around the world. In other countries where the sport is not as much popular, the game is seen as boring and is looked down on. This paper will explore how soccer is growing at such a rapid pace despite the fact that it can be viewed as violent and boring.

However, England is the country that have developed soccer to what we know today as football. Britain was the first country to develop the initial rules on uniform for soccer as well as stopping players from tripping their opponents and using their hands to touch the ball unless one was the goalkeeper. More rules have been developed and more landmarks set as the sport developed. For instance, according to the FIFA website, the penalty kick was first introduced in 1891 (Huggins, 2007).

Soccer As A Form Of Popular Culture

Soccer or football has become one of the most beloved past times of many countries in the world. There are very few sports that are as ubiquitous as football. Revered by many as the ultimate sport, football has evolved in a world of its own with its own set of rituals and spatial and temporal associations. Religion too has its own set of rituals and its own spatial and temporal associations. It is something used by the masses to form a collective bond with their fellow peers in a way that transcends the bounds of normal relationships. It bonds people with emotion and a common way of thinking. This paper argues that soccer can be defined within the context of religion.

Everybody has different interests and is drawn to entertaining activities that fit their personality. Most people enjoy these leisurely activities in their spare time. They also pursue such activities and interests outside of their professional or academic activities. These captivating and attention drawing activities are known as hobbies.

In Spanish, hobbies are called pasatiempos or aficiones . Even the Americanism “hobby” is widely accepted and used by some Spanish speakers. 

You’ll find some hobbies have an educational focus or enriching goal, while others are simply for entertainment purposes, or for keeping you busy in your free time.

Hobbies allow us to connect with others and provide a space of comfort where common interests are shared. Being able to speak about your favorite hobbies in Spanish gives you a chance to encounter like-minded individuals. 

Use this list of questions to ask about hobbies in Spanish.

¿Cual es tu pasatiempo favorite? What’s your favorite hobby?

¿Qué te gusta hacer en tu tiempo libre? What do you like to do in your free time?

¿Qué haces para divertirte? What do you do for fun?

¿Qué haces los fines de semana? What do you do on weekends?

¿Tienes algún pasatiempo? Do you have any hobbies?

Talking About Your Hobbies in Spanish

Answering the previous questions and talking about your pastimes and hobbies in Spanish requires you to build the appropriate sentences following Spanish grammar rules. 

You can use several verbs to indicate your passion and affinity for a specific activity or for your favorite hobbies in Spanish. 

• interesar (to be interested in)
• gustar (to like)
• encantar (to love)

You can conjugate these verbs using indirect object pronouns to match the subject in a sentence, not the verb. Their purpose is to indicate who is receiving the result of the action—in other words, to whom the action is being done. 

Here are the object pronouns in Spanish. 

• me – actions for yo (I)
• te – actions for tú (you)
• le – actions for él, ella and usted (he, she, and formal you)
• nos – actions for nosotros (us)
• les – actions for ustedes (them)

These sentences use the pattern indirect object pronoun + conjugated verb + object.

Let’s examine some examples following this pattern. 

Me gusta jugar al golf.  I like to play golf.

Me is the indirect object pronoun for I + gusta is the verb + j ugar al golf is the object.

Le interesa aprender español. You are interested in learning Spanish.

Le is the indirect object pronoun for she, he, or you + interesa is the verb + aprender español is the object. 

Nos encantan los videojuegos. We love videogames. 

Nos is the indirect object pronoun for us + encantan is the verb for a plural subject and object + los videojuegos are the object. 

When you build this type of sentence following the pattern with the verbs interesar , gustar , and encantar, you have to use the verbs in the present indicative form. They often include an – n at the end to match a plural subject, otherwise it stays the same. 

Let’s take a look at even more sentences so you can see the sentence pattern in action. 

Other Example Sentences

Me interesa leer tres libros al mes. I’m interested in reading three books per month.

A Favorite Sport in Mexico

How it works

Sports are a huge part of American culture, but the same can be said about Mexican culture. These sports have helped shape the country and its culture. They have evolved from being played with a large rubber ball to using balls of various shapes and sizes, and sometimes no ball at all.

The oldest sport believed to be played in Mexico is the “Mesoamerican ballgame”. This game was played in many parts of Central America during the precolonial ages. Given the antiquity of this game, the rules are not completely known, but researchers suggest that it resembled racquetball.

“The ball was solid rubber and heavy, and archaeologists believe that players used their hips to keep it in the air” (Carey, 2018). Archaeological evidence suggests that this Mesoamerican ballgame was also used in ritual sacrifice, implying the losing team had no opportunity for a rematch. The game’s popularity spread across most Mesoamerican cultures. I personally have never played racquetball, but I am aware that it remains a favored game in America.

Another significant sport that helped form Mexican culture is bullfighting. Bullfighting is banned in much of the world, including eight countries, among which Mexico is an exception due to perceived animal cruelty. This sport was originally brought to Mexico by the Spanish conquistadors over 500 years ago. “Mexico holds the most significant bullfighting events and is home to some of the world’s top toreros (bullfighters)” (Carey, 2018). A bullfight consists of three stages, each more intense than the last. I have never watched bullfighting and am aware it is not for the faint-hearted. The fight ends when the torero stabs the bull between its shoulder blades, killing it. Given its violent nature, bullfighting is a topic of ongoing controversy and debate.

The most popular Mexican sport is soccer, being the favorite game to both watch and play. Soccer’s introduction to Mexico is credited to the British, who also founded the Orizaba Athletic Club in 1898. Although the club originally focused on cricket, a soccer division was added three years later. The national soccer competition was launched a year thereafter. “Soccer is played everywhere but is particularly popular in Mexico’s central and northern regions, with teams from Mexico City, Guadalajara, Pachuca, and Monterrey being some of the most famous” (Cray, 2018). It’s unclear if soccer is a significant part of Elizabeth’s life from what is mentioned in the book, but given its popularity in Mexico, it likely was. Soccer is less popular in America compared to football, but within the Mexican community, soccer remains the preferred game.

Another popular sport in Mexico is baseball. Its popularity is growing faster and faster. Many players from Mexico and many areas of Latin America have gone to play for the MLB. The sport of baseball is more popular in Cuba and Latin America than it is in Mexico, but it is still very popular. Mexico has two leagues of baseball: the northern and the southern league. They have a schedule that is quite similar to the one in the United States’ MLB. “Mexican baseball is slightly more popular on the border with the United States and in the country’s port cities because it was brought to those areas of the country first by US soldiers stationed in Mexico” (Carey, 2018). Because baseball is not as popular as soccer, it is not enough of a money-making sport to bring in lots of cash flow and revenue. Subsequently, the baseball stadiums are not that nice and are medium-sized. Also, not all of them are broadcasted on television. I grew up watching a lot of baseball. I did not know that this sport was not always popular in Mexico, but I am happy to hear that it is growing in popularity compared to what it used to be. I find it fascinating that a sport from the United States was brought to another country for them to play.

The last sport I am going to talk about is boxing. “While most people would assume soccer is Mexico’s biggest sport, they might be surprised to learn that boxing has gained the country the most achievements on the world stage” (Carey, 2018). Mexico has 204 world champions, which is more than any single country. In the 19th century when boxing was a sport for amateurs, it was called “a game for children”. It was thought to be only for thieves and drunk people because in Tampico sailors used to fight each other for drinking money, using napkins around the hands instead of using the gloves that are now used today. In the 1930’s, boxing had its first Golden Age in Mexico and made its way to the United States through immigrants who left Mexico. “Fourteen Mexican boxers have been inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame and there are 12 medal-winning Olympic fighters in the history of the sport in Mexico” (Carey, 2018). I am not a big boxing fan, but I do know that it has become very popular throughout the ages and is not just a sport for thieves and the drunks. I think it is very cool that it was brought to the US by Mexico.

I consider sports a big part of my life. I grew up playing many different sports and continued to do that throughout high school. I also consider sports a big part of my life because they have led me to be introduced to many of the friends that I have. These friendships would not have been made if I did not play sports. I believe that sports can bring people closer to becoming friends, as well as bringing families closer. They can all watch big games together on television or play them with each other, creating family bonding. No matter what the culture or country is, sports are very important in life.

The most popular sports in Mexico are not the same as they are in the United States. What really fascinated me was that we share some of the same sports. For example, baseball and boxing. We introduced baseball to Mexican culture, and Mexican culture brought boxing to us. It’s awe-inspiring to know that sports are very important here, and how they have evolved over time.
