This worked for me ^\/sports\/([^\/]+)\/$

Explanation: ^ / sports / => category to match with / escaped with \

([^ /] +) => not / once or more

/ $ => page depth of the first closing level / s $ stop

We can say "not following characters" by using [^...]

^

means "not". Therefore, to limit the levels, we can use [^/]

.

Here are some examples:

Match / sport / something: ^/sport/[^/]+$

One must start with / and then exactly 1 / must be followed: ^/[^/]+/[^/]+$

or^(/[^/]+){2}$

Generalized to start with / and follow 4 / no more: ^(/[^/]+){1,5}$
