Manchester United the most popular Premier League club on the planet, new research reveals
- Manchester United is the most popular Premier League club in the world.
- Red Devils get top billing in 37.2% of all nations, 6.46% more than their closest rivals Liverpool.
- One of the Red Devils (93), or Reds (87), account for being the most popular in 72% of all countries.
- Collective efforts of Chelsa, Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham can account for just 39.78% of United’s global popularity.
Manchester United will begin the 30th Premier League season as the most popular Premier League club in the world, new research has confirmed.
While the Old Trafford club may have fallen away from challenging for trophies in recent years, they have maintained their grip as the Premier League’s most popular export, headlining in 93 of the 250 countries worldwide.
Hot on their heels, though, and closing fast is Merseyside outfit Liverpool, fuelled by their successes in 2019 and 2020, where they won both the Champions League and Premier League, the latter their first title triumph in 30 years. These on-field triumphs appear to have made all the difference, with the Anfield side now trailing by just 6.46%, or six countries to be precise!
The Liverpool-Manchester megalopolis – the two cities some 35 miles apart – is famed for its historic rivalry in sporting and other senses, and the pair lay unanimous claim to the lionshare of attention from a combined 180 nations, a colossal 72% of the planet.
For context, the combined global clout of Chelsea (19), Manchester City (9), Arsenal (8) and Tottenham (1) only musters 39.78% of Manchester United’s geographical wins on the international stage.
The True Colours of Football study, conducted by William Hill, crunched a range of search volume data for each top-flight club in hundreds of key towns and cities across the UK, as well as accurately mapping online popularity in almost every country across the globe.
Indicative of the beautiful game’s gravitas in Africa is Uganda, South Sudan and Kenya leading the way in interest in the Premier League’s elite, the UK, home to the game’s origins, fourth – just above Sierra Leone.
Big numbers in China and India spend their time following the travails of Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s United side, but it is a much more closely-fought affair in the U.S. and Canada, where they narrowly edge out Liverpool.
Liverpool red, though, washes over much of Europe, the Middle East and Russia, with unparalleled dominance in the northernmost region of the African continent, claiming four of the seven countries. And while West Africa appears to be very much a Chelsea stronghold, United enjoy the freedom of the continent’s south, dominating swathes of territory from Tanzania’s capital Dodoma to Cape Town in South Africa.
Six different clubs add colour to the vibrant palette of football that is South America, with the footballing powerhouses of Mexico and Brazil most compelled to follow Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool side, while the EPL’s only Mexican player Raúl Jiménez elevates Wolverhampton into second spot in that particular nation, the Midlands club outscoring the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City.The of Columbian poster boy James Rodriguez instantly elevated Everton to El Maximo – the biggest thing there is, Miguel Almirón ensures Newcastle enjoys plenty of Paraguayan affection and Marcelo Bielsa, the enigmatic Argentine who ended Leeds’ 16-year wait for Premier League football, has won the hearts and minds of his countrymen and women back home.

How Not to Tilt When Facing Challenges: NAVI Performance Coach Urszula Klimczak and GG.BET Have Released a Special Project about Mental Health
NAVI Performance Coach Urszula Klimczak and NAVI’s title sponsor GG.BET have unveiled Tilt Management, a special project dedicated to mental health. The initiative consists of three in-depth articles covering demotivation, burnout, and dealing with hate – some of the most common mental health challenges faced not only by esports players, but also by their fans. The project places a strong emphasis on practical value, featuring real-life esports cases, proven advice and everyday practices, as well as self-support exercises readers can apply on their own.
Mental health is becoming increasingly relevant year after year, regardless of profession or lifestyle. Many of the challenges professional players experience are familiar to millions of people in their everyday lives. These include loss of purpose, poor work-life balance, conflicts within teams, vulnerability to criticism, and more. While esports professionals can rely on performance coaches and team staff for support, people outside the industry often have to seek professional help on their own – something that does not always happen. One of the key goals of the project is to support people who may not have access to professional guidance by explaining how different issues manifest themselves, offering practical tools for self-care and recovery, and highlighting when it is important to seek help from specialists.
The first article focuses on demotivation. It explains how to recognize its early signs, how to distinguish it from simple exhaustion, and what NAVI does to prevent players from reaching this state. Particular attention is paid to techniques that help regain focus, manage daily routines, and gradually restore energy.
The second article explores burnout both within and beyond esports. Readers can assess themselves using descriptions of the five stages of burnout and their symptoms, learn about NAVI’s approach to maintaining performance under a demanding schedule, and discover why variety in everyday life and taking smaller, more frequent breaks are essential elements of burnout prevention.
The final chapter of the project addresses hate and negativity. It explains why hatred and aggression ultimately say more about the hater than the target, how to establish healthy boundaries, and how to avoid being consumed by criticism – especially self-criticism. NAVI’s strategy for dealing with hate, combined with practical exercises, can help readers to challenge negative thoughts and distinguish constructive feedback from a stream of harmful negativity.
All articles from the Tilt Management special project are available on EGamersWorld.

New Slotegrator solution offers fastest time to market in iGaming
Slotegrator’s One-Click Casino, a preconfigured, ready-to-run iGaming business solution, now offers the fastest time to market in iGaming, with new projects ready to launch in as little as five business days*. The company will demo the new solution at stand S44 at iGB L!VE on July 1-2.
Slotegrator’s One-Click Casino, a preconfigured turnkey online casino platform, is now the fastest solution available to operators looking to start an iGaming project. One-Click Casino cuts the launch timeline for new projects to as short as five business days* with the use of backoffice presets. A demo of the new solution will be available at iGB L!VE on July 1-2, at the company’s stand, S44.
New operators choose turnkey solutions in order to accelerate their launch; however, the client is still responsible for configuring many aspects of the platform. The new One-Click Casino shortens the timeline even further with preconfigured projects featuring unique frontends based on player preferences in different markets and regions, making for a faster and more cost-effective launch.
One-Click Casino has presets for bonus systems, payment service providers, anti-fraud triggers, game content, and more, though the frontend is still customizable. The launch timeframe assumes the operator is already licensed. License acquisition can extend the timeline, but Slotegrator also offers license acquisition services.
“One-Click Casino removes many of the barriers that operators face when starting a new online casino,” says Maksym Shtun, product owner at Slotegrator. “Speed and flexibility are everything in iGaming. By preconfiguring so much of the backend, we’ve made it faster and easier than ever for new operators to start their project.”
An extensive launch timeline can sink a project, as every day that passes without generating revenue is a drain on investment. Operators can easily spend substantial sums before the first bet has even been placed, due to the costs associated with license acquisition, platform setup, developing a team, and integrating games and payment systems.
One-Click Casino has four types of available bonuses, with thumbnails, amounts, and wagering, as well as a Wheel of Fortune and cashback, including preset percentage and activation triggers. Multi-level loyalty programs are also available, as well as game categorization, such as new, top, and bonus-eligible games.
The solution’s preconfigured anti-fraud system includes behavior and IP analysis, as well as automatic multi-accounting checks at registration. Bonus preconfigurations include bonus group limits based on player profiles, mandatory verification before bonuses are awarded.
As an added bonus, the solution includes a preconfigured Telegram bot, to run an alternate frontend through the popular encrypted messenger app.
One-Click Casino is ideal for entrepreneurs who are looking to launch a new iGaming project but are put off by the costs, technical complexity, and launch timeline, such as operators of crypto or Web3 projects who’ve built a community but need a way to monetize it.
*Final timeline depends on client’s technical readiness, chosen market of operation, and licensing status.
ABOUT THE COMPANY
Since 2012, Slotegrator has been one of the iGaming industry’s leading software and business solution providers for online casino and sportsbook operators.
