The United States has set a new all-time attendance record for World Cup matches, which it is hosting this summer jointly with Canada and Mexico through 19 July.
FIFA noted via its official account on X that the United States has recorded the highest cumulative attendance of any nation to have hosted a World Cup tournament throughout history.
FIFA published a statistic showing that attendance at World Cup matches hosted by the United States has reached 8,212,000 spectators.
It added: "On 4 July, we celebrate a nation's great love for football."
The United States is hosting 78 of the tournament's 104 matches, compared with 13 matches each for Canada and Mexico.
The United States previously hosted the World Cup on its own in 1994, with 24 national teams taking part, and total attendance at the time reached 3.59 million spectators across 52 matches held at nine stadiums, with an average of 68,991 spectators per match.
The United States has allocated 16 stadiums for the current edition, which is being held with 48 national teams, and it is also hosting all knockout-stage matches from the quarter-finals through to the final.
The match between Mexico and England in Mexico City, and the match between Switzerland and Colombia in Vancouver — both in the round of 16 — will be the last two matches played outside the United States at the 2026 World Cup.
