But the experiences of the first week of the FIFA World Cup, which lasted for a month, proved that all of them were just imaginations and the reality was the opposite.
Stadiums filled with excitement
Official figures released by FIFA show that stadiums in Qatar are packed with fans. The average attendance recorded was 94 percent compared to the capacity of the stadium. This is pointed out as proof that the World Cup has been embraced by the world. Over 30 lakh tickets were sold for the tournament, which spanned 32 countries. Even if you look at the preliminary figures of television viewing in countries around the world outside the stadiums, the preliminary assessment is that the Qatar World Cup is much higher than the previous World Cups. FIFA estimates that the 29-day football frenzy that began on November 20 will break all viewership records so far. Officials also estimate that at least 5 billion people around the world will watch the game on TV screens and digital media platforms.
