Sports or sport?

I like soccer because it is very fun and exciting sports.

I like soccer because it is very fun and an exciting sport.

Here exciting sport means soccer. Soccer is uncountable so I am confused to use sports or sport...

Please tell me what is correct thank you!!

It has nothing to do with the counability of 'soccer'. The noun concerned is 'sport', which can be either uncountable ( Sport is healthy ) or countable ( Sports are healthy ). In your case: I like soccer because it is a very fun and exciting sport .
