Soccer Fans Around the World Follow the Euros

When UEFA Euro 2020 (yes, still named 2020) kicks off on Friday at 9:00 PM Central European Time, European soccer fans won’t be the only ones looking forward to a month worth of competition at the elite level.

Since Europe is the epicenter of the soccer/football world, fans from all over the world will tune in when footballing powerhouses France, Germany, Spain, England and other clash in the first pan-European championship played in 11 different cities all across the continent.

As the following chart, based on a survey conducted by Sportfive and Statista, shows, American soccer fans are the least enthusiastic about the upcoming tournament. While European club football, especially the English Premier League, have grown a devoted following across the United States, Americans prefer to have skin in the game when it comes to international competitions.
