The NFL, which boasts of a huge fan following in the United States, has endeared itself to some of the other nations as well. After the United States, the league has the most number of fans in a country with whom relationship has soured in recent times.

President Donald Trump may be looking to alienate Mexico by building a border wall, but data suggest there are other links between both nations, which could be tough to sever.

Data compiled by Statista shows Mexico has 23.3 million self-declared fans of the NFL, second only to its neighbor to the north, which boasts of 115 million fans. The number of NFL fans in Mexico, though, accounted for only roughly 20 percent of its fan base in the United States.

Brazil comes a close third, with 19.7 million fans. Canada, South Korea, Germany and the U.K. claim 7.21 million, 6.72 million, 6.6 million and 5.73 million fans, respectively.

The statistics for this year's Super Bowl Sunday viewings will be interesting to compile and parse through in light of the
heated political atmosphere
expected during halftime and commercial breaks and the bruised relationship between Mexico and the United States.
