This is a question that has been ask around throughout every single athlete that play these sports. They are always wondering which sport is the most popular or even the most played in the world. Each athlete that play each sport would claim that their sport is the most played or even the known. According to most websites, only two of these four sports are in the world’s top five. Can you guess which one it is ? The number one sport played worldwide is soccer and that is an obvious one due to the fact that soccer is the main sport in most third world countries. The reason for this is because it is easier to learn how to play the game than all these other popular American sport.
The other sport that are in the world’s top five is basketball. Basketball is in the world’s top five because overtime the sport of basketball has been getting more recognition in continents like Europe and Asia where they look up to several NBA players. Recently it has been a sport that is really starting to become more common. But, basketball is ranked number five behind cricket, rugby and tennis.
Even though baseball and football might not be ranked in the top five, it is ranked in the 10 for the most popular sport in world. The main reason why a sport like football might not be very well common around the world is because, american football is really only known in the United States and not really worldwide. This is due to the fact that it is a difficult sport to learn all the rules. Baseball on the other hand is another sport that is only played in the americas as in North America and South America. It isn't really a worldwide sport.
