Seven matches have already been held at Euro 2020. They passed in seven different cities, including in Baku.
Taking into account the pandemic restrictions, it is interesting to analyze the attendance of games. Looking at the final minutes of meetings, published by UEFA, we see that the least spectators were on Saturday Wales match – Switzerland (1: 1) held at the Baku Olympic Stadium. The game was visited by 8,782 fans.
However, the low attendance of the meeting between Welsh and Swiss is quite explained. The fact is that from the seven matches consisted, only two there were no owners on the field. In addition to the Wales match – Switzerland, this is also a meeting of Austria – Northern Macedonia (3: 1), held in Bucharest. This game was attended by about the same fans – 9 082.
In five other matches – in Rome, in Copenhagen, St. Petersburg, London and Amsterdam – Spectator activity is related to the fact that one of the rivals was the local national team.
Attendance leader at the moment is St. Petersburg. On the game Russia – Belgium (0: 3) We visited 26,64 spectators. St. Petersburg Arena, like the stadium in Baku, is ready to take 50 percent of the overall capacity. According to UEFA, it is about 30,500 fans. The Baku Olympic Stadium can take 31 thousand fans. This is the second indicator after the Budapest “Pushkash Arena”. Hungarians promised to fill the stadium for all 100 percent, and this is 61 thousand.
After Budapest Baku may well take the 2nd place on attendance. In the upcoming two matches on our Olympic stadium will play the national team of Turkey. Interest in the Games of the Turkish team with Wales (June 16) and Switzerland (June 20) is much higher than to the first match. The arrival of a large army of Turkish fans is expected, and Azerbaijani fans will be happy to support the massacre of a fraternal country. According to information received from Affa, Turkey’s match – Wales has already sold 25 thousand tickets. There are two more days ahead, which means that there are all chances to get ahead of Peter.
From the rest of the cities, the competition can be only London. In the first two matches of the group stage, the legendary “Wembley” can take no more than 22,500 spectators, but it is expected that the following limits can be increased. A total of euro-2020 matches will be held in London. On the first game, in which England and Croatia met, 18,497 fans came to the stadium.
