Ipsos releases results of who the Arabs are cheering for this World Cup 2014



Ipsos MediaCT has released the results of the ‘Ipsos Football Score’ (IFS), which is a two-month long national representative survey* conducted across 11 MENA countries. The independent survey seeks to gauge the sentiment of Arab football lovers and their favorite teams, assessing who they think will win the title in the World Cup 2014.

The ‘Ipsos Football Score’ was designed by Ipsos MediaCT to categorically rank the various football teams based on specific variables such as favorability, likeability, loyalty, popularity, uniqueness (tactics and abilities), as well as their chances of winning the title. The independent study then assessed the importance and significance of each of these variables, and a comprehensive score was derived from these results. The study covered Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, Iraq, Bahrain, Kuwait, Morocco, Tunisia, Qatar and Jordan.
