FIFA 23 has broken plenty of records since its release at the end of September and we've now got an insight into the countries that have helped get them there.
Now, thanks to an independent report published by CasinoAlpha, we now know which countries are most obsessed with FIFA 23.
FIFA 23 Obsessed Countries
The launch of FIFA 23 may have been met with a mixed reception, but there's still plenty of interest in EA Sports' most recent instalment in their long-standing franchise.
Now, online casino comparison service CasinoAlpha analysed Google Trends data of searches for the keyword “FIFA 23” in the last 12 months worldwide.

- United Kingdom
- Denmark
- Norway
- Netherlands

As England fans, we're hoping that this table will be reflective at the upcoming World Cup, but it's clear to see that the UK is the most FIFA 23-obsessed country.
Surprising names at the top include Denmark and Norway, although we're sure that a certain Man City striker may have had some influence on the latter.
Ireland also sees a top 5 finish, with Germany and Belgium teetering towards the relegation zone.
