Fantastic Football
A lot of people around the world are crazy about football. For most of them it is even prior to their families.
Nowadays, football is playing a fundamental role in every country. It is not only a kind of sport which is meant to entertain a wide range of people, but also it is a business as well as symbol of culture.
Surely football is the most favorite sport all over the world. If we take a look at the enormous number of spectators who go to different venues to watch The Beautiful Game and also those who follow the games impatiently in front of television sets, we understand that football is quite capable of playing its role in entertaining the folks.
Few people may not be aware of lucrative contracts signed by different football players. Football is now considered to be a moneymaking business due to these amounts of money being paid and received. The big clubs are competing to sign the best players by hook or by crook. Some countries are pretty successful in exporting football players rather than oil!
Club rivalries are not just about the game itself. They have very interesting old backgrounds which make the fans feel hostile toward the club's rivals. In Spain, for example, F.C Barcelona and Real Madrid are not merely opponents on the pitch, but enemies for decades. If you ask a fan of Barça about Real Madrid, He will talk long hours about the Spanish Civil War, General Franco, Independence of Catalonia, etc. For them, football is more than a sport. It is something like identity, culture and autonomy. Their club's motto is "Barça, More than a Club".

A lot of people around the world are crazy about football. For most of them it is even prior to their families........
I really enjoyed reading this, it is impressive ( but I see you are an English teacher) - the only suggestion I could make for general improvement is this phrase... it is even prior to their families.
prior means - preceding, before - I think you really meant priority!
So you could say - it even takes priority over their families
