Is it correct to say 人在中国喜欢乒乓球比踢足球, 但是人在美国喜欢踢足球比乒乓球? 你们好！

I'm a student currently studying Chinese. We have an oral assessment where we will need to compare Chinese culture and China to the culture of the Western world.

I was wondering if it is grammatically correct to say:


  人在中国喜欢乒乓球比踢足球, 但是人在美国喜欢踢足球比乒乓球.


If it is not correct, how could I change it so that it becomes right?
I understand what you mean, but this might be a better way of saying it:

中国人喜欢打乒乓球，而美国人更喜欢踢足球。


Or, if you really meant people living in China/USA (and not Chinese people), then you can say:

在中国，人们喜欢打乒乓球。而在美国，人们更喜欢踢足球。
