The current tournament maintained an average attendance of 64,508 spectators per match. In terms of goal scoring, the tournament saw 215 goals scored during the initial phase.
This equates to an average of approximately three goals per match. For comparative context, the 2022 World Cup recorded a total of 172 goals across the entire competition. The structure of the tournament also presented a notable consistency point.
A total of 64 matches were played in Qatar, aligning with the number of games held in all World Cups since 1998. These figures provide a comparative overview of the scale and activity within the modern World Cup tournament. While the current attendance levels are substantial, they fall below the peak figures achieved in the 1994 event.
The goal statistics highlight the scoring rate during the initial matches, offering a metric for analyzing the overall flow of play across the competition.
