- Yahoo Singapore, we did a sort of like a survey with 2,000 respondents-- so a good survey sample size--
- With YouGov?
- --with YouGov on football in Singapore, just to kick off this season of podcasts. So last week, we did some of the statistics, but I saved the best for this week.
- This is an absolute cracker.
- So we asked the respondents, which are the football leagues you watch and support? So, obviously, the most support is the English Premier League.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
- 43%. Yep, 43%. Second one, also no surprises, UEFA Champions League.
- Mm.
- That's about 23%, 25%.
- That's not a league, actually.
- So I was thinking competition. [INAUDIBLE] competition. So number three, number three is the one that-- I bet you already thinking La Liga.
- La Liga?
- Serie A?
- Serie A?
- Bundesliga
- Bundesliga? No, Singapore Premier League. Understand, 18%, OK? Singapore Premier League was third. So if we want to compare, La Liga, fourth, 10%. Serie A, 8% Bundesliga, 7%, quite far behind Singapore Premier League. So Singapore Premier League actually stands about just, i mean, in between La Liga and the English League and Champions League.
