Record after record continues to fall at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which has become the first edition in the tournament's history to surpass 5 million spectators in stadium attendance.
FIFA announced on Tuesday that cumulative attendance at the 2026 World Cup venues crossed the 5 million mark during the round-of-32 match between France and Sweden.
Attendance figures at the 2026 World Cup are expected to reach unprecedented levels, particularly as 26 matches still remain in the largest edition in the tournament's history, featuring 48 national teams playing a total of 104 matches.
