The fan following across the Globe reaches to hundreds of millions. The best and richest league systems exist in Europe. Dozens of countries have varying types of professional football leagues. Best teams of the leagues play at continent level besides playing national leagues. UEFA (Union of European Football Association) controls and regulates the European competitions. It is thus a very complicated and tedious affair to work out schedules as the national and European leagues progress further into the season.
Thus, rightly termed by Allsportspk as European Football Game Personified!
