Football in Sri Lanka is mainly played at a semi-professional and recreational level. Despite not being as well-regarded as the country's cricket team, football is the third biggest sport in Sri Lanka (after cricket and rugby union). The Sri Lanka national football team uses the 25,000-capacity Sugathadasa Stadium for their home games.
