Morumbis sets revenue record, not attendance, in São Paulo v LDU | OneFootball

The Morumbis did not host its largest audience of the year this Thursday, in the match between São Paulo and LDU, for the return leg of the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores, but at least it broke the revenue record for 2025.

54,609 fans were present in the stands of the Morumbis to support the Tricolor in the 1-0 defeat to LDU. The crowd was the third largest of the year, behind the round of 16 of the Libertadores against Atlético Nacional, when São Paulo had 57,496 fans, and the match against Corinthians, for the Paulistão, where 54,855 fans were at the Morumbis.

In terms of revenue, however, the story is different. São Paulo made its highest ticket revenue of the year this Thursday. No less than R$ 8,331,900.00 was pocketed by the Tricolor from ticket sales for this game against LDU.

The revenue closest to this Thursday's is from the round of 16 of the Libertadores against Atlético Nacional. On that occasion, São Paulo collected R$ 3,851,690.00 from ticket sales.

Now São Paulo shifts focus to the Brazilian Championship. Next Monday, the team hosts Ceará at 8 pm (Brasília time) at the Morumbis, a game that will certainly have a much smaller audience and revenue than this Thursday's against LDU.
