HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH HIGHLIGHT:
Soccer arrived in Latin America in the late 1800s with a large influx of Europeans and since then has exploded in popularity, dominating as the most popular sport (by a large margin) in almost all Latin American countries. Soccer started as a sport played mainly by affluent Europeans, but quickly spread throughout the culture, its low barrier to entry allowing for people of all socioeconomic classes to play. Latin America has had a long, complex history of race and class issues that have divided people. In many ways, soccer has become intertwined with Latin American culture as it has acted as a common interest for people of all races, origins, and cultures in Latin America. Bridging gaps and prejudices that are commonplace in countries such as Brazil and Argentina. Because of this power, soccer has acted as almost a religion or major cultural component that people from all over Latin America can come together over. Brazil has won the most world cups; 5; Followed by Argentina with 3 and Uruguay with 2 and Spain with 1.
