In a FIFA statement published on 20 July 2026, the day after the final, FIFA President Gianni Infantino said the first 48-team World Cup "destroyed every record". FIFA reports an all-time record total of 6,810,966 spectators at 104 matches, an average crowd of 65,490 and stadiums filled to 99.7%. The 1994 tournament in the USA had half as many matches but a higher average crowd per match. The case would be settled by comparing the official totals, per-match averages and daily figures with earlier tournaments, and by checking how FIFA counts attendance.
