Cricket at the Summer Olympics
Cricket was originally scheduled to be included in the inaugural 1896 Summer Olympics, which were held in Athens; cricket would have been the only team sport held at the Games. There were, however, insufficient entries and so no event was held.
Sport in Greece
The cricket is little popular in the most of Greece, but is pretty popular in Corfu. British imported the sport in Corfu during the British rule in Ionian Islands. Almost all the activations of this sport take place in Corfu. The Hellenic Cricket Federation and the most clubs of the championship are located in the island. In Corfu also two European Cricket Championships have held, so far.
