Sport HD is a third-party addon not reviewed by Kodi’s official team. This means:

  • You’re downloading from an outside source.

  • Wrong or fake sources can include harmful files.

Always use trusted repositories (like the official Bugatsinho GitHub) and never copy repo URLs from random websites. A VPN is strongly recommended.
