Datafolha: Palmeiras overtake São Paulo, still No 1 in Southeast | OneFootball

A new Datafolha survey on the country’s largest fan bases was released this Saturday (1), based on research conducted on July 22 and 23 in 139 municipalities by the institute.

The sample showed that São Paulo’s fan base, usually in 3rd place, was overtaken by Palmeiras nationwide, with 7%, compared to Tricolor’s 6%.

However, in the country’s Southeast region, São Paulo fans still outnumber Palmeiras supporters, with 10% of fans compared to 9% for Palmeiras.

The margin of error for the total sample is 2 percentage points up or down, and 3 percentage points in the Southeast region alone.

Above the two in the survey are only Flamengo, preferred by 22% of Brazilians, and Corinthians in second place with 14%, according to figures released by Folha de São Paulo. A total of 22% of those surveyed said they do not support any team — 13% of men and 29% of women.

In preferences by gender, Flamengo leads among men with 24%, followed by Corinthians (15%), Palmeiras (8%), and São Paulo (7%). The order remains the same among women: Flamengo (20%), Corinthians (13%), Palmeiras (6%), and São Paulo (5%).
