Popular sports

Here is a list of sports that are very popular in post-Severance Ikaanos.

• The Arena. Undoubtedly the most popular attraction in the city, especially among the upper-middle class and above.
• Soccer. A long-standing favorite well before the Severance. The sport is organized into two leagues: the A2 division and the top-tier Ikaanos United Soccer League (IUSL). There are currently seven teams playing in the IUSL:
  • Westside Strikers
  • Whitehaven Falcons
  • Redhaven Forge FC
  • Procoms Circuit FC
  • Emerald FC
  • Highspire Guardians (Bellemme)
  • Redford
• Rensai Duelling. A traditional martial competition using short carbon rods. Points are awarded for precision strikes, not force. A sport that originated from the Hakusan Empire during the mid 2300s.
• Aerodisc. Was a very popular sport on Earth (starting circa 2090) but still played in Ikaanos today. Similar to ultimate frisbee but with weighted aerodynamic discs that curve unpredictably.
• Windrider Sailing. Small personal sailcraft used on Ikaanos' inland channels (Red River) or reservoirs. Very stylish, and exclusively aristocratic.
• Horse racing. The Ikaanian Grand Race (IGR) is held monthly in North Whitehaven sports arena. Exclusive to the upper classes.
