Casilló y Réal is a highly athletic state, though it does not have as many competitive sports teams as other nations. The most popular sport in the nation is football, with practice ranging from national-level sponsored teams to neighborhood games between children. This sport originated from abroad and was imported in a primitive form in the late 1800s. Corric football teams are considered respectable if average on the international field. Notably, no Corric team has ever won an international competition and many years the nation does not qualify. Regardless of this, for its athletic benefits as well as entertainment value it remains the most-participated and watched sport.
Native to the country is the Tournament of Saint Marta, the global championships for the sport of Historical Armoured Martial Arts. Casilló y Réal is considered to be the birthplace of modern competitive HAMA, having kept the practice alive within the culture of knighthood and chivalry that still permeates the nation. Each Duchy, County, and Barony in the country has their own HAMA team, called Companies, using the arms of their province as team colors. Corric HAMA tournaments can consist of individual entrant events or team-based competitions. The individual competitions themselves are known as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hastilude hastilidiums], and include [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintain_(jousting) quintain], jousting, passes of arms, melee, mounted and foot archery, and wrestling.

Other sports that are popular in Casilló y Réal are rugby, tennis, various forms of regional handball, golf, swimming, marathons, and stock and rally car racing.
