Soccer, for example, has 10.6 registered players in the FIFA world cup in Germany.
Football has 10 players per team.
The next highest is cricket, which has 11 players per club.
Rugby league has nine players per game.
Basketball has eight players per league.
Basketball was ranked as the most influential sport in the Australian sporting community in 2016.
There was also a large gap between the number registered players of soccer, tennis or cricket.
Football was the most-played sport in 2015 and had a strong presence in Australia for the first time in 20 years.
The sports industry has always been driven by the desire to grow the player base, but it was a much bigger deal in the early 2000s, when there was no mobile phones and there were fewer players to compete against.
The sport is now a global phenomenon with more players in Europe and North America than in any other country.
The new study shows that the sports industry is now attracting more players than ever before and that the top-performing sport is also attracting the most players, with the Australian Football Association (AFA) having more than 1.4 million players.
