Manchester United Lead FanTribe's Fan Leaderboard as Kenya Sets the Global Pace

United lead the club rankings

FanTribe's registered fan data shows Manchester United out in front of the club leaderboard with 56 registered fans, a lead of 21 over Arsenal in second place.

Chelsea complete the top three on 25, with Manchester City (18) and Liverpool (16) close behind. The top five, according to FanTribe's registration figures:

• Manchester United — 56
• Arsenal — 35
• Chelsea — 25
• Manchester City — 18
• Liverpool — 16

United's advantage over Arsenal is more than double the gap that separates Arsenal from Chelsea, underlining how far clear they are at the top. Below the leading five, the numbers fall away sharply: no other Premier League club has more than a single registered fan, with AFC Bournemouth, Aston Villa, Everton and Newcastle United among those yet to register a supporter.

Fanbase and form do not always align

Arsenal's runners-up spot in the fan rankings is mirrored by their form on the pitch. According to the Premier League table, they sit first with 12 points from four matches, four wins from four.

For Manchester United, the two tables point in different directions. They are 13th in the Premier League table with four points from three games, yet boast the platform's largest fanbase — a reminder that registrations and league position do not always go hand in hand.

Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest each have a single registered fan so far, a tally matched on the platform by Al Ahly, Botafogo, FC Seoul, Kano Pillars, FC Santa Coloma and Simba SC.

Kenya sets the global pace

The country leaderboard shows Kenya well clear with 143 registered fans, ahead of Nigeria on four, with Brazil, Tanzania, Egypt, South Korea and Andorra each on one.

Kenya's total is only seven short of the combined figure for the platform's five best supported clubs, who together account for 150 registered fans. Bandari and Gor Mahia lead the way among Kenyan clubs with 22 apiece — enough to sit joint-fourth on a combined club list, above Manchester City and Liverpool — with AFC Leopards on 12, Kenya Police and Ulinzi Stars on four each and Tusker on three.

Room to grow

The early picture is of a community that is both global and still forming: English clubs dominate the top of the club leaderboard, Kenya dominates the country table, and a single registration can still lift a club several places.

As FanTribe grows, the leaderboard will keep shifting. Supporters can register with their club and help change the picture — one fan at a time.
