Troops on the Western Front would spend considerable periods of time behind the lines. To keep men fit and active and to maintain morale, sport was encouraged. Sports such as football were seen as a good way for officers to develop leadership skills and to forge links with their men. Football was also a popular form of recreation for troops on both sides and could boost morale.
