Sport
Billy

Sport Billy is a 1979 animated television cartoon made by Filmation Associates, initially for broadcast in Germany.

In 1982, Filmation carried the show over to the United States for syndication, and as a summer replacement in NBC's Saturday morning children's programming.

It was the last first-run series produced by Filmation Associates to air on NBC.

The cartoon was originally a European comic character and had already had presence in Europe and some parts of Latin America.

Owners of the franchise, licensed the property to American studio Filmation to create a cartoon based on the character.

As a European character, Billy's main sport was soccer, and this was reflected in the intro sequence of the Filmation program.

Billy was adopted by FIFA as the Fair Play Mascot for Soccer World Cups, and a trophy of the character was presented to the most sporting team at each World Cup.
