In most sporting events such as the Olympics, England takes part as part of the UK (sometimes as Great Britain but this is misleading, as Great Britain does not include Northern Ireland). The UK includes England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The exception is football, where they have separate international teams.
