Sports in Arcerion have a long history back to Ardmori soldiers posted to Kurst playing football in the summers to pass time, to horse racing and cattle sports in the Arcer Heartland. Today, Arcerion's most popular sport is rugby, which is organised and played by teams in the [[National Arco Rugby League]], or NARL. The sport regularly draws millions of fans to attend its regular season games, and the viewership has remained steady throughout the decades, even with a switch to more modern methods of viewing such as internet live-streaming. For individual sports, Arcerion also has a number of popular golf courses, and sport shooting remains one of the main national past times. | Sports in Arcerion have a long history back to Ardmori soldiers posted to Kurst playing football in the summers to pass time, to horse racing and cattle sports in the Arcer Heartland.

Arcerion also has a special relationship with the [[Istroyan Games]], as the capital city of Kurst was the first Cronan city to old the Olympiad event since its founding, with the Kurst Sumer Games held in 1970. This was to be followed decades later by the 2034 Kinnaird Summer Games, the second time Arcerion was to host the summer games. Arcerion also holds the distinguishing feat of being the first nation to host winter games in Crona, with the 1984 Easthampton Winter games, which was a chance for Arcerion, recently out of the Fourth Bush War, to display the beauty of the Ailach mountains and how modern of a city Easthampton was. Arcerion held a fourth Istroyan Games on its home soil in 2016, utilizing the older Easthampton facilities with less than a year's notice as the games were originally intended for Akwesasne, [[Quetzenkel]] but had to be relocated due to the [[South Nysdra War]]. | Arcerion also has a special relationship with the [[Istroyan Games]], as the capital city of Kurst was the first Cronan city to old the Olympiad event since its founding, with the Kurst Sumer Games held in 1970.
