At the moment, data very incomplete
Also see Sports attendances In Leagues, there are not "rounds" as such, one team may have played ten games when another team in the same league has played only eight. For statistical purposes, A round of games is the total of every team in the league playing one match each. "Total attendance per round" is calculated by multiplying the average attendance by the number of matches per round (half the number of teams in that league). "Popularity" is calculated by taking the Total attendance per round and dividing it by the Population of the country; i.e, it represents the percentage of the country that has attended a match, during a round of matches in that league, Assuming people on the whole don't watch two different matches within one round of games (as is very unusual) Number of Rounds does not include playoff games. In most leagues, each team plays each other twice, once at home and once away. Countries sorted by "Visits per season per person" as a total of all leagues and sports in each country.
