Future of British Sport (to 2030)

In 2030, British sport has changed dramatically. When Great Britain got a Silver in basketball in the 2024 Olympics, it became the second largest played sport in the UK, only behind football

Football
In 2030, nothing has changed in football. It has not decreased in popularity at all. Domestic football, however, has changed drastically. Teams like Southend United and Port Vale have made it into the Premier League, and Wolves and Aston Villa have both finished in the Champions League positions. Liverpool dropped out of the league in 2026 and haven't been back since.

In Scotland, Celtic were accused of match-fixing in the 2022-23 season, and were forced to start the season with a 25 point deduction. However, they still managed to win the league in the last game, over Hearts. They have completely dominated.

Basketball
Since 2024, the British Basketball League has blown up in popularity. The largest teams are the London Lions and the Hull Thunder.
