On July 13, with only four matches remaining in the World Cup, FIFA announced the total number of fans who have attended the tournament in North American stadiums so far: 6,527,410.

According to FIFA, this number has already exceeded the total number of spectators at the previous two World Cups.

However, it's worth noting that the 2022 Qatar World Cup and the 2018 Russia World Cup both had fewer participating teams than this tournament. Those World Cups only had 32 teams, while this World Cup has expanded to 48 teams, resulting in a significant increase in the number of matches.
