Persepolis is listed among the most popular teams in the world
The online website of Marca, a Madrid-based magazine, has published a survey listing famous football clubs from all over the world and has given its users the opportunity to choose their favorite and least favorite teams by rating the available options.
In this list, only two clubs from Asia are mentioned, one of which is Persepolis. The other one is Al-Nassr from Saudi Arabia, although it seems that the second option has been placed higher due to the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo in this list, rather than the popularity it had before the arrival of the Portuguese star.
