6.810.966 people. That was the final figure left by the 2026 World Cup after 104 matches spread across Mexico, Canada and the United States 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇲🇽
The first sign came midway through the tournament, during the match between Germany and Ecuador, when FIFA announced that more than 3.6 million fans in the stands had already been surpassed. A number that on its own would have been enough to make history.
But the tournament still had the knockout stage ahead, and the record ended up multiplying until it nearly doubled. Never before had so many people filled the stadiums of a World Cup ⚽🏆🔥
