Sports are very important in Ceylonian culture. [[w:Association football|Football]] is the most popular sport in the country, with about 1.7 million registered players in 76,000 clubs. The [[Ceylon Primeira Liga]] is the highest level for football in the country, being contested by the 18 best clubs every year from August to May. The “big three” of Ceylon football clubs ([[Sporting Clube Ceilonia|Sporting CC]], [[S.S.M. Tagão|Tagão]] and [[Futebol Clube East Sachia|FC East Sachia]]) are the three most popular clubs in the country, share the top 3 most titles in both the Primeira Liga and the [[Taça Ceilonia]], and are the only 3 clubs to have never been relegated from the top flight. Some of the greatest Ceylon footballers include [[Joaõ Moreira]], [[Ciríaco Cavaco]], [[Tristão Dantas]], and [[Vítor Sapateiro]]. Some Ceylon football managers are also very well-known, including [[Viriato Bandeira]] and [[José Pimentel]]. The [[Ceylon national football team]] has won the [[UCFA|Cronan Championship]] once, in 1999, where they defeated Arcerion 2–1. The country qualified for the [[WAFF World Cup]] 8 times, with their best finish being in the 2006 quarterfinal. | |||
