FIFA have confirmed that they have broken their all-time attendance record for a World Cup just six days into the tournament.
Fans from all over the world have turned up in their thousands across the USA, Canada and Mexico to show their support.
With supporters coming from Argentina to New Zealand, we have seen some huge attendances and that has helped to break a magnificent record.
FIFA break new World Cup attendance record
A post from the world football governing body on social media confirmed that 1,309,652 supporters have attended games, with gates averaging 65,483.
Furthermore, 281,223 fans passed through turnstiles on 16 June, beating the previous record of 277,070, which was achieved at the 1994 World Cup.
Should that trajectory continue to move upwards, the all-time record across an entire competition will be broken by the end of the group stage.
