According to a recent Nielsen’s World Football Report across 18 global markets, over 40 percent of the population describe themselves as soccer fans.
In the US, soccer is still growing and Nielsen estimates that interest in the Major League Soccer has increased by 27 percent since 2012.
But, besides the emotions of joy, triumph and the sheer entertainment of competing, there are so many health benefits of playing soccer.
