Just on numbers of countries playing, football has probably the most fans in the world but it's unlikely to be half the people of the world (which would be something like 3 billion if the population of the world is something like 6 billion). The best club in the world? That's too subjective a question to ask - every football fan will claim it is their club - mine is Liverpool and I say it's the best club!

It is estimated that FOP affects about 2,500 people worldwide, or approximately one in two million people. Such statistics may be better grasped by the following example: if a large football stadium holds 100,000 fans, one would need to fill nearly 20 football stadiums to find one person who has FOP. At the present time, researchers are aware of fewer than 400 people throughout the world who have FOP.
