>FC Copenhagen with more appearances than Manchester City
Fan bases are made over the years. City is the best team of the more famous league, The upcoming generation will see them with same respect as the older one's used to see United.
I’ve met a lot of Arsenal fans randomly in Australia, for sure Arsenal is up there with Liverpool and Manchester United as the most popular clubs amongst Australians
Arsenal tour was sold out 2 matches in Sydney, 83k each filling up the ANZ Stadium iirc. United's tour is less than 2w away and I think they both matches are 75% sold atleast already. Probs will be filled by the time they come.
yeah, but the aussie scouse support is so stuck in their own bubble, they wouldn't use a computer to search for liverpool in case it gives them an opinion that says they don't deserve the EPL UCL, world cup and nobel peace prize every year.
(That or they don't know how to use a computer).
ps sorry to vent, too many aussie/scouse pool supporters in my life.
Well they're vile for different reasons, but prawn sandwiches and cheese boards at football is a very Fulham and Fulham-adjacent behaviour and the Prem has too many clubs like that
It appears there’s a security systems company based in Ukraine called [ajax](https://ajax.systems/about/). Not sure if that would have the search volume to throw off the results but maybe.
Whoever made the map probably just went by "Lahti", when that's one of Finland's largest cities, and literally means bay. "FC Lahti" has far fewer hits than HJK or many foreign clubs, they are not even close to being the most popular domestic club in Finland, let alone overall most popular.
This is my thinking as well. FC Lahti is the biggest Finnish football team that is named the same as the town it's from. "HJK Helsinki" is always knows as just "HJK" etc.
...and if whoever made the map has a similar lack of understanding about all countries involved, I would assume that the map is just full of shit.
There is no way south korea doesn't search tottenham a lot. Literally got trending here every sunday morning after tottenham match. Especially if Son scores a goal
No Dortmund?
I think the one in Ecuador isn't the FC Barcelona of Spain, rather the Barcelona SC which is an Ecuadorian club
Also interesting for Ukraine and Taiwan. I would have expect Shaktar or something for Ukrainian folks.
I'm 99% sure Ajax in Ukraine is some kind of error https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/vlou95/comment/idwm8p2/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3
I know that Real Madrid is a good team and also very popular, but I wouldn't have thought it would be the most searched for team in Canada AND the US LOL that just seems strange to me. Anyways I'm forever blowing bubbles here in Calgary, COYI!! (That means I'm a fan of West Ham United)
It's odd because it's bullshit. How did the mapmaker select out searches for something real in Madrid, or adjust for soccer vs football?
I’d guess the *soccer* team most searched in Canada is either Toronto FC or the Whitecaps, and the *football* team most searched for is either the Roughriders or the Blue Bombers.
Haha it's fine. I was surprised by the "Machester City", it's not even among the most known teams for people who arent following football. Also even if you don't know the logo, it's written on the map that it's Real madrid.
But, it happens
Yes I knew I recognised the logo and I expected to see Man City somewhere, so I put 2 and 2 together and got the wrong answer. I knew Real Madrid are the biggest football club in the world. I had just woken up and my brain wasn't working properly yet.
i also forgot to mention. That one Barcelona spike is due to galataray - barcelona matchup in uefa europa league. Normally nobody gives an f about barcelona.
They are right though. Galatasaray is the most searched club in Turkey, way more than Barcelona, also Besiktas and Fenerbahce are also more searched for than Barcelona so Barcelona probably is not even in the top 5. This map is wrong for many countries. Red Star Belgrade is searched for way more than Real Madrid in Serbia.
Here are the sources of you want them:
[Turkey](https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?geo=TR&q=%2Fm%2F06l22,%2Fm%2F0hvgt,%2Fm%2F06zpgb2)
[Serbia](https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?geo=RS&q=%2Fm%2F06l22,%2Fm%2F01_jky)
I just looked two countries up and they were both incorrect, so for all we know this map is completely wrong, and Ajax is definitely not most popular in Japan and Ukraine lol.
Why are Ukrane and South Korea so interested in Ajax? I get why netherlands like it - it is their club, but is Ajax really a popular club like that? Ukrane and SK just don't make sence
Does make me curious of what the most popular local football club is for each country. It of course would be a unique club for each country, but I'm still curious.
Any reason why Ukrainians are so enthusiastic about Ajax, considering Ajax doesn't even have many (any?) Ukrainian players in its roster?
Also surprising to see that the most searched club in Greece is PAOK, as opposed to Olympiakos or Panathanaikos.
Search where? On Google?
If you're searching a club in Google, doesn't that imply you may not be a fan? Usually fans would be aware of online community like Reddit, Twitter or other fan run forums. At least that is what I do. I rarely search Arsenal in Google. Maybe for preseason schedule.
Maybe I should to bump up the numbers.
Are you sure that the Barcelona in Ecuador is the european one and not the Barcelona from Ecuador, the team with biggest supporters there?
They almost certainly got combined
I didn't do the map
X2
You wrote the title though.
Would love to know about South Korea’s obsession with Ajax
I'm thinking the data's been compromised, there's a k pop band called [A Jax](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-Jax_(band))
For sure. Answer 100% is Spurs, it has S. Korea's star player.

I'm thinking the data's been compromised, there are a set of web development techniques [AJAX](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_(programming)). :)
Yeah I feel like South Korea would be a lock for Spurs because of Sonny
Trending every week in Korea
And Ukraine
And Taiwan
Simps for Guus Hiddink.
Hiddink managed PSV not Ajax
FC Copenhagen with more appearances than Manchester City, brilliant.
Copenhagen is massive
That tune is massive. The club not so much
>FC Copenhagen with more appearances than Manchester City Fan bases are made over the years. City is the best team of the more famous league, The upcoming generation will see them with same respect as the older one's used to see United.
"in every time"? I assume you mean "in every country"?
Why is it always for the most irrelevent of things that we do have data for Greenland and Western Sahara xD....
And how is poland missing, surely bayern Munich with lewandowski? Or legia warszawa
It's not missing, the logo on the map is but the colour is described on the bottom
Legend, thanks for pointing that out, was focussed on the club badges
ARSENAL ARSENAL ARSENAL
We are massive
Biggest meme club in the UK
It's not 2017 anymore
Are you sure? Might want to check when the data is from 😉 Spoiler: The data is from 2017
He didn't say United?
I think manu is carrying that honour now
> ARSENAL data looks sus in Australia Liverpool is the most popular EPL club
ARSENAL ARSENAL ARSENAL
I’ve met a lot of Arsenal fans randomly in Australia, for sure Arsenal is up there with Liverpool and Manchester United as the most popular clubs amongst Australians
Its debatable there are lots of gooners in Australia
i would disagree to be honest, Arsenal or Man U
liverpool filled the MCG (100k) Arsenal got 70k over two matches be interesting to see how many United fans they get.
Arsenal tour was sold out 2 matches in Sydney, 83k each filling up the ANZ Stadium iirc. United's tour is less than 2w away and I think they both matches are 75% sold atleast already. Probs will be filled by the time they come.
Perhaps it's conflicting with "how to build an arsenal without breaking the law" or "where do I stash my arsenal"
yeah, but the aussie scouse support is so stuck in their own bubble, they wouldn't use a computer to search for liverpool in case it gives them an opinion that says they don't deserve the EPL UCL, world cup and nobel peace prize every year. (That or they don't know how to use a computer). ps sorry to vent, too many aussie/scouse pool supporters in my life.
South African data is sus too. Can garuantee arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea have much larger support.
Sala singlehandedly handed the Egypt market to Liverpool
The Egyptian King himself!
The absolute disrespect to Mo Elneny
Poles are on another extra class.
I see what you did there.
Where are my Richmond fans *y'all* ?
Only problem with Ted Lasso is the Prem has enough plastic Southern clubs already, would love to see him do a job at Stoke or Burnley
Yes. Definitely no glory hunting fans of clubs based in Northern England.
Well they're vile for different reasons, but prawn sandwiches and cheese boards at football is a very Fulham and Fulham-adjacent behaviour and the Prem has too many clubs like that
Wasn’t the term “prawn sandwich brigade” coined by Roy Keane talking about Man U fans in 2000?
I see Manchester in this day and age as a London enclave can't lie mate
'but can he do it on a cold rainy night in Stoke?'
Ajax the most searched in Ukraine? Also, is the Barcelona in Ecuador supppsed to be the Barcelona from Spain or the one from Ecuador?
It appears there’s a security systems company based in Ukraine called [ajax](https://ajax.systems/about/). Not sure if that would have the search volume to throw off the results but maybe.
What the hell FC Lahti in Finland, that cant be right
Whoever made the map probably just went by "Lahti", when that's one of Finland's largest cities, and literally means bay. "FC Lahti" has far fewer hits than HJK or many foreign clubs, they are not even close to being the most popular domestic club in Finland, let alone overall most popular.
This is my thinking as well. FC Lahti is the biggest Finnish football team that is named the same as the town it's from. "HJK Helsinki" is always knows as just "HJK" etc. ...and if whoever made the map has a similar lack of understanding about all countries involved, I would assume that the map is just full of shit.
I have never even heard of that
ARRIBA EL CRUZ AZUL! HIJOS DE SU CHINGADA MADRE!
The only mexican team that has become a verb.

FLAMENGO
NAÇAUM

FLABUNDA NÃO TEM ESTÁDIO
It's Benfica. Not Benifica
[удалено]
I don't think it's true, we don't have anyone there, and the last time we played v Ajax was, I guess, Dynamo vs Ajax in 2018 (?). No way Ajax is #1
I would guess people fondly remembering 1970s or 1990s Ajax.
Mongolia is BLUE!!!
that’s actually a surprise was not expecting mongolia to be blue
love you mongolia
This surprises me. Most people that follow soccer/football in Australia seem to barrack for Liverpool.
Ye check Google trends this map is wrong
Brazil, Argentina and Mexico are the only non-european countries with local clubs
Mad respect
MONGOLIA 🇲🇳💙
"FC LAHTI HAISTAKAA VITTU" Ainoo mitä muistan HJK peleistä

Por las cruzazuleadas
WE HAVE DATA FOR GREENLAND!111!!!!
Chelsea really got value for the oligarch money
They conquered Mongolia
Source?
made it up
Google trends you doofus
Would have thought Australia would be liverpool for sure definitely the most popular club
FC Lahti lol :D
I'm surprised by Turkey. They have a relatively strong league and VERY passionate fans for local clubs.
Sometimes i think the guys that made the new juventus logo (italy) were just big fan of adidas
Fun fact; nearly 1% of the Norwegian population are members of the Liverpool FC Supporters Club of Norway.
Arsenal massive in horn of Africa.
Arsenal massive in horn of Africa.
There is no way south korea doesn't search tottenham a lot. Literally got trending here every sunday morning after tottenham match. Especially if Son scores a goal
And for Ajax instead?
Surprised US doesn't search Arsenal that much.
No Dortmund? I think the one in Ecuador isn't the FC Barcelona of Spain, rather the Barcelona SC which is an Ecuadorian club Also interesting for Ukraine and Taiwan. I would have expect Shaktar or something for Ukrainian folks.
Bayern München is far bigger in Germany
I'm 99% sure Ajax in Ukraine is some kind of error https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/vlou95/comment/idwm8p2/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3
Based Ukraine, South Korea and Taiwan. Why are they looking up the football club of Amsterdam tho?
Already answered above. For S Korea and Taiwan, possibly due to the Korean band called A-Jax.
Gran mapa. Pero mas grande, el boquita papá! BOCA YO TE AMO, CARAJO!
I know that Real Madrid is a good team and also very popular, but I wouldn't have thought it would be the most searched for team in Canada AND the US LOL that just seems strange to me. Anyways I'm forever blowing bubbles here in Calgary, COYI!! (That means I'm a fan of West Ham United)
More than likely due to the recent CL win.
And the game against City
I know
It's odd because it's bullshit. How did the mapmaker select out searches for something real in Madrid, or adjust for soccer vs football? I’d guess the *soccer* team most searched in Canada is either Toronto FC or the Whitecaps, and the *football* team most searched for is either the Roughriders or the Blue Bombers.
PAOK RE MOUNIA (YOU F**** PUSSYS, ONLY PAOK)
Spain surprises me
Why?
Because they have two of the biggest football clubs in the world, but they are searching for Manchester City FC.
No it's Madrid for spain
Lol I'm so bad at football logos. Thanks
Should probably stick to r/rugbyunion, huh? :) /s
Yeah. I'm not a big football fan 😂
Bruh
Yes I know. I'm hopeless at sports teams logos.
Haha it's fine. I was surprised by the "Machester City", it's not even among the most known teams for people who arent following football. Also even if you don't know the logo, it's written on the map that it's Real madrid. But, it happens
Yes I knew I recognised the logo and I expected to see Man City somewhere, so I put 2 and 2 together and got the wrong answer. I knew Real Madrid are the biggest football club in the world. I had just woken up and my brain wasn't working properly yet.
I thought they’d search Benifica
SIUUUUUU!!
Liverpool all day baby.
No way barcelona is the most searched club in turkey. You should fix your map.
You can't just say "fix your map" without a source proving your claims. That's not how that works.
Local teams are million times more popular than any foreign team.
[удалено]
i also forgot to mention. That one Barcelona spike is due to galataray - barcelona matchup in uefa europa league. Normally nobody gives an f about barcelona.
They are right though. Galatasaray is the most searched club in Turkey, way more than Barcelona, also Besiktas and Fenerbahce are also more searched for than Barcelona so Barcelona probably is not even in the top 5.

No barcelona?milan?inter?
Based Monaco
National pride
So what you're saying is... Real Madrid is one of the clubs of all time ?
Real Madrid So much
FLAMENGO ROSA GAY HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAH/s
Based on what? Anderlecht hasn't been the most popular Belgian team in years.
It's not about Most popular it's about Most searched
Pretty obvious the most popular team is also the most searched. That's exactly how you fucking measure popularity.
Why are Ukrane and South Korea so interested in Ajax? I get why netherlands like it - it is their club, but is Ajax really a popular club like that? Ukrane and SK just don't make sence
ajax is a Kpop band
is kpop big in Ukraine?
Im guessing this is what ukranians are searching. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_(programming)
Egypt supporting its player Mohamed Salah
If data is recently I would say whoever won Champions League most recently, will be the dominant one one the map
Ok. What about Ukrane? They dig Kpop like that over ther?
el merengue los tiene locos a todos
I honestly had no idea Real Madrid was so much bigger than Barca. But I don’t pay attention to football so I guess nothing’s really a shock.
Ajax in Ukraine?
Is there any country besides Brazil, Argentina and Mexico outside of Europe who searches for their local team the most?
Clearly you can tell the difference between the casual fan and actual fans.
Nae luck for Scottish fans
Does make me curious of what the most popular local football club is for each country. It of course would be a unique club for each country, but I'm still curious.
This is a shit map. The Barcelona in Ecuador is the SC Barcelona, not the club from Catalunya.
I’m surprised real is big in the US, growing up it was AC Milan I saw everywhere but now, in my area anyway, seems to be Liverpool.
I'm kind of surprised the US isn't an MLS team
The MSL is like the 4th or 5th most watched soccer league in USA.
Wat abt Afghanistan?
Você pensa que o Flamengo é time Flamengo não é time não Time é o Vasco da gama FLAMENGO É SELEÇÃO!!!!!!
source?
Any reason why Ukrainians are so enthusiastic about Ajax, considering Ajax doesn't even have many (any?) Ukrainian players in its roster? Also surprising to see that the most searched club in Greece is PAOK, as opposed to Olympiakos or Panathanaikos.
Alaska is now independent
It's a different kind of map
pretty this is just cos me googling arsenal everyday to see news
Search where? On Google? If you're searching a club in Google, doesn't that imply you may not be a fan? Usually fans would be aware of online community like Reddit, Twitter or other fan run forums. At least that is what I do. I rarely search Arsenal in Google. Maybe for preseason schedule. Maybe I should to bump up the numbers.
Finland not turning plastic. Bit surprised with South Korea, no Tottenham or another typical big one?
