The reigning world champions are ahead of Brazil (29.65 million followers, without TikTok account), England (27.23 million followers) and Mexico (25.75 million followers), the only teams that exceed 20 million. These four nations have a combined total of 112.46 million followers on social networks, or 52.4% of the total followers of all 32 teams.

Only eight teams have more than 10 million followers, while eight others have less than 1 million. Ghana, Serbia, Switzerland and Cameroon are the least followed teams.

In total, 214.6 million fans follow the 32 teams. If we add to this total the 96.45 million followers that FIFA has on its social networks dedicated to the World Cup, this means that at least 311 million people on social media will be reached by the XXII edition of the competition.
