Probably. It's easy to play and you don't need a lot of equipment. All you need is a ball. And if you watch the World Cup in June you'll see how many different countries participate in the event.

Not sure what the allure is in other countries, but here in the U.S. most televised sports contain more action.  Few other sports can run the entire game with only one score. OK, hockey is like that, but there's more action without scoring than in soccer.  Soccer is gaining in popularity here, but don't look for it to bump any mainstream sports off the tube in the near future!

The FIFA defines a soccer  calendar and the culmination of it is the World Cup which is held every 4 years at alternating locations.

Football (soccer) is the best international sport. Albeit, many Americans don't like it because of the lack of action as American football or Basketball. Same with Ice Hockey since it requires paitence and passing just like soccer.
