Worldwide Football Clubs Social Media ranking

Football Marketing releases its first worldwide social media ranking. The chart presented below show the number of Twitter “followers” and Facebook “likes” for each football club. The teams are ranked by their combined number of fans across the two sites. We only tracked the sites / account identified as “official”. Many teams have a lot of unofficial Facebook and Twitter accounts but only “official sites” were monitored.
