It is a shameful thing, to be caught in the act of corruption or bribery. It has been often said that, good manner exalts a nation. So if anyone represents his or her country at the international level, such person is expected to perform to the optimum task. Just of recent, some men who were suppose to be noble men in the administration of sports, football to be precise, were found guilty of bribery. This categorically happened among some men of the federation of international football association which is generally known as FIFA. Some of the big wigs were caught while they were collecting bribes from those nations who were suppose to be neutral when competing for the decision of whom to host the football world cup next among them. In football generally, only the international body (FIFA) can determine the country who will host any competition. So, if this is true and FIFA men continue to maneuver the whole system by being corrupt, how then will they be able to choose the right nation to host any competition? It is so pathetic that this is happening at the international level. Sporting activities are not meant to be managed by corrupt individuals.

The impact of the sports industry in any nation’s economy are too numerous to be mentioned.

There are only three types of medals namely; gold medal, silver medals and bronze medals. Also in Olympic Games, each athlete represents his or her country. So, they count those medals won by athletes for their individual countries. The country with the highest overall medals wins the overall competition.
