Football reigns supreme as the planet's top sport

The highly coveted title has this year been won by France.

The FIFA World Cup was held in the Russian Federation from June 14 until July 15, and the host cities included Moscow, St. Petersburg, Sochi, Kazan, Kaliningrad, Samara, Nizhny Novgorod, Volgograd, Rostov, Saransk, and Yekaterinburg.

"It is estimated that more than three million foreign nationals have visited the World Cup host cities and we are sure that the absolute majority has had good impressions. I am confident that this will affect the way our country will be viewed in the world," said Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, according to the agency TASS.
