If everything is working perfectly then export database file (http://localhost/phpmyadmin)

Open cPanel> create a new database, database user and add user to database with all preivileges using Manage User Privileges

Then open cpanel phpmyadmin and import sql file

Open C:\xampp\htdocs\sports and edit .env file with localhost, database, user we created on cpanel

Example of .env updation
