Which football club has the highest fans in Africa? The South African Kaizer Chiefs have a huge support base of 16 million fans in sub-Saharan Africa.
Given the population of Egypt, and the fact that for every one Zamalek fan, there is around five Ahly - Red Devils - fans, my bet would go for El-Ahli. It is also the most decorated team - by far - in Egypt, and in Africa. The other team that should be a close second is Mazembe of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Best African football teams of 2019. Algeria is the best football team on the continent, after winning the 2019 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Egypt. The Desert Foxes replace Morocco at the top of the rankings, ahead of Senegal, Nigeria, Tunisia, and Madagascar.
Which is Africa's favourite Premier League team?
- West: Chelsea. There is no doubt Chelsea is the club of choice in this region.
- East: Arsenal. The colour of choice for East Africa is red for Arsenal.
- South: Manchester United. It is not a surprise that Manchester United is the most popular club in southern Africa.
- North: Arsenal.
