Sport is more than a game in Sheffield; it’s a passion. Spectator sports venues abound in Sheffield, which is a national centre for sport and home to the English Institute of Sport which attracts national and international sportsmen and women for training and events.
This may be one of the reasons that Sheffield is regularly chosen to host many national and international sports events, the most well known being the World Snooker Championships which are held each year at the Crucible Theatre.
