Official attendance figures reflect the number of tickets scanned and spectators present within the stadium footprint, rather than visual assessments of seating occupancy at any given moment during the match. FIFA works closely with stadium authorities and ticketing teams to ensure all published figures are based on verified operational data. Please note that, during last night’s match in Guadalajara, several ticketed fans could be seen standing in concourses rather than staying in their assigned seats throughout the match.

Marc Guéhi has partnered with @ToshibaTVGlobal and football streetwear designer Killa Villa to unveil a limited-edition Retro Replay Shirt inspired by Geoff Hurst’s 1966 hat-trick - which 30% of England men’s fans rank as their favourite England football moment! 📺 Guéhi: “Some of my earliest football memories are watching big games at home with family and friends, so I know how special those moments can be. "There’s a real excitement that builds when everyone’s gathered around the TV, especially when England are playing. "This shirt is a great way to celebrate that history while connecting it to fans today. Hopefully it reminds people of those iconic moments and inspires a few new ones this summer..." 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
