If you're talking professional, there are at least 100,000 professional football players in the world

There's fewer than 10,000 professional Tennis players, and that's far more popular professionally than squash and other racquet sports so at a professional level you're talking more than 10 times football than tennis.

For non-professional, Based on 2019 data, 87 million play tennis worldwide, and far fewer squash players (20-30 million)

But them together and you're less than half of the 250 million football players
