Riteish is a bigger cricket fan, but Genelia, who's expecting their first baby, loves football.
"I'm a huge fan of cricket and I have played a bit of football. My wife watches football and she keeps a track of every team and player," Riteish, 35, said here on the sets of "Dance India Dance Li'l Masters".
"She accompanies me every time I want to do something. So, this time I want to give her company in watching any match she wants to," added the soon-to-be-dad.
Riteish was on the set of the dance reality show to promote his forthcoming film "Humshakals" along with the rest of the cast and director Sajid Khan.
His co-star Ram Kapoor, also a football fanatic, is backing host country Brazil to win the cup this year.
"I enjoy it (football), but I don't get a chance to watch all the matches. I have always backed Brazil and this time the tournament is in Brazil. Hopefully, this time Brazil will win," Ram said.
Actress Esha Gupta is also a football fan and said: "Everyone knows that I love football. This time the matches are in Brazil and I hope this time they win."
The FIFA World Cup final will be played July 13.
