teamsport
Group competitive activity
A teamsport is an athletic activity requiring coordinated effort among multiple players working toward a shared goal—basketball, soccer, hockey, rugby.
The compound emphasizes the collective nature: individual talent matters less than how well players function together.
Football is the ultimate teamsport.
Often spelled as two words: team sport.
