In comparison, the Philadelphia Eagles have the support of just 45 countries in the world – making up less than 20% of the world’s support.
The Eagles receive on average 4.4 million Google searches each month across the globe.
The Philadelphia side’s majority of support comes from the US, where they receive 4 million average searches per month.
Although the Eagles had huge support in Canada, with 90,500 average searches per month and Mexico, with 74,000 searches per month, they were not as popular as the Chiefs in any of the top 30 countries worldwide.
Jordan were found to be the loudest nation when it came to cheering on the Eagles over the Chiefs, with an extra 60 searches on average each month for the Philadelphia side than the Chiefs.
Bahrain, Djibouti, Libya, and Sierra Leone were all also found to be rooting for the Eagles over the Chiefs for Super Bowl LIX.
Commenting on the research, Callum Broxton, Head of Operations at FlashPicks said: “The global support for the Kansas City Chiefs ahead of Super Bowl LIX is truly remarkable, with over 80% of the world backing the Kansas City side and nearly double the monthly search interest compared to the Eagles. However, it will be fascinating to see if this global momentum translates to success on the field come game day.”
