What is the most played sport in the world?

Hello everybody,,,,

What is the most played sport in the world?

 

I think its soccer

 

According to me football is most widely played sports in the world

 

Hello guys, I got this somewhere and I thought it would be nice for me to post this.

Sport * Estimates of Participants Worldwide * Number of Affiliated National Federations

Volleyball * 998 Million * 218
Basketball * 400 Million * 211
Table Tennis * 300 Million * 186
Soccer *252 Million * 264
Badminton * 200 Million * 147
Tennis * 60 Million * 191
Baseball * 60 Million * 110
Dragon Boat Racing * 50 Million * 51
Team Handball * 18 Million * 147
Hockey * 3 million * 118
Judo * 2.5 Million * 187
Rugby * 2 Million * 97
Cycling * 600,000 * 160
Bocce * Pending * 72
Cricket * Pending * 74

I am not really sure if this is the current estimation.

 

wah.. is this latest statistic? I though football is no 1 but... how can volleyball

 

That's weird...I figured wrestling would be up there since it's one of the oldest sports in the world. Odd how Volleyball is number one.

 

i think they have included every form of football in it if at all these stats are realistic but football (Soccer) is the most played sports i think

 

fot ball is most played

 

I think its a footbal .....

 

Its Football..

 

Yeah it's football. (Soccer)

 

Its Football and Football only

 

i'm not passionate of football but as it seems it is.

 

Sports management guy here, soccer is the answer

 

That is suprising... Nobody plays / watches volleyball near me!

 

this statistic say - what most people know how to play, not what is more popular and played

 

It is soccer , like i said in my previous post.

 

number 1 soccer .. and then basketball

 

Football easy

 

I am sure it's Football.....
