I was discussing with some friends on this issue and they were of the opinion that football is a universal religion due to the passion people put into the sport.

Looking at it we can see that:

Fifa is the governing council of football religion

Sepp blatter is the current Chief priest

Football clubs and national teams are the different denominations and branches

The team coaches and managers are the Head pastors

The players are the ministers

The fans are the worshippers

Football stadia, viewing centers and individual homes are the worship centers

Wednesdays, Saturdays and sundays are the official worship days.

Football brings joy, happiness, satisfaction to many people, it also brings anger, pain and sorrow.

Do you agree with this theory?

Football is religion-like in Nigeria and other parts of the world, especially in Brazil!

Very true, football is made in Brazil. I know some peepz who have never missed a single game of their favorite club for years
