Beyond a popularity list
One country. More than one story.
A stadium crowd, a local playing field and a national tradition reveal different sides of sport.
What people follow
Viewing figures and fan surveys describe attention and interest. They do not tell us how many people play.
What people play
Participation evidence describes taking part. Look at who was surveyed, the activity and the period it covers.
What the game means
Clubs, local traditions and sporting history add context that a national percentage cannot capture.
Each guide labels its evidence and links to sources. Survey years and definitions vary between countries, so the figures are not a single international league table.
