If we add Copa America and Euro 2024the three games with the largest audience in the stadiums correspond to the American tournament.
The match between Chile and Argentina on June 25 set a record with 81,106 people at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. It was almost a sold out event, as the venue was at 98.2 percent of its capacity.
The second match with the largest audience was Venezuela’s 1-0 victory over Mexico, June 26 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. 72,773 people attended, with 99.7% capacity. The podium is closed by the inaugural duel between Argentina and Canada, with 70,564 at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta (99.4).
The first Euro Cup match that appears on this list is Poland-Austria, which ended with a 3-1 victory for the Austrians. On June 21, 69,455 spectators attended the Berlin Olympics
The special case of capacity in the Euro Cup
Although the Bundesliga has large capacity stadiums and is the tournament that attracts the largest audience among the five major leagues, for the 2024 European Championship in Germany, the stadiums are not fully occupied.
The ten venues have an average capacity of 62,293 people, but the capacity is 53,444. For example, Dortmund’s Westfalenstadion can hold 81,365, but for this Euro the limit is 66,000 and its record attendance was 61,047, for Turkey 0-Portugal 3.
