oportunidades "de" practicar.

I have been meaning to ask this for a long, long time. Why is the "de" inserted in this phras or many others? Seems unnecessary since "practicar" is "to practice."

the TO in the infinitive of a verb is not as the same as the TO you are thinking about. - rabbitwho, Sep 11, 2011

So, why don't you get rid of the preposition in "Opportunities to practice" then? It should also seem unnecessary in English. Why not "opportunities practise"? In English you add this "to" in order to connect words correctly, and in Spanish we use "de". Where is the problem?

Opportunity to practice = opportunity of practicing.
