National Teams

Gambia does not have many sports teams compared t England and have not won as many medals, olympic or paraolympic.Some of the most popular gambian sporting teams include: the national football team
                            the national paralympics team
                            the national cricket team
                            the national basketball team
                            the national womens football team
However none of these sports are the national sport of Gambia, the national sport is wrestling, and it can be seen in local villages and towns on the weekends. 
When a survey was sent out to the whole world to find out the most popular sport 3.5 billion people said that their favourite sport was football (soccer) but to Gambian people wrestling is the number one sport.
