Although a surprisingly large number of empty seats can be observed at certain matches during the World Cup, today FIFA released the data: 94 percent of the capacity of all stadiums in the first round of the competition by group was filled.
"Don't believe your eyes", as if they want to say from the World Football Federation, because the picture that goes around the planet via television shows something completely different.
It was also announced that just today the number of tickets sold at the World Cup reached three million.
Brazil's 2:0 victory over Serbia is the most attended match of the first round - there were 88.103 fans at the "Lusail Ajkonik" stadium.
Interestingly, the official capacity of the largest Qatar arena - what the host officially announced before the start of the World Cup, is 8.103 seats smaller - and is exactly 80.
However, FIFA announced only today that the capacities of individual arenas - vary from match to match.
The disproportion in the maximum capacity and number of spectators is also noticeable in some other matches.
FIFA also announced that on the fifth day of the World Cup, on Thursday, November 24 - the very day Brazil and Serbia played, 98 fans paraded through FIFA's fan zones, which is the highest number in the World Cup so far.
