Football in Puerto Rico

Football is one of the leading sports of Puerto Rico, ranking only behind baseball, basketball and boxing^[1] in national popularity and is the number one participation sport on the island^{[citation needed]}. There has been a significant growth in the sport in recent years, as traditionally football has played a very small role in Puerto Rico.^[2] The sport on the island is governed by the Puerto Rican Football Federation, an affiliate of FIFA.
