São Paulo see lowest Morumbi crowd since post-pandemic return | OneFootball

With the fans completely furious at the board after the elimination in the Copa Libertadores and the visible loss of confidence in a good part of the current squad, it was well known that tonight's match of São Paulo against Ceará, for the Brazilian Championship, would not be able to attract even a reasonable crowd to Morumbi.

And the expectation was as predicted. Only 12,342 São Paulo fans were willing to watch the 1-0 defeat to the people from Ceará.

This is the worst attendance of São Paulo in a match at Morumbi since the total return of the fans to football games (that is, with the release of the sale of the total capacity) with the end of the Covid-19 pandemic. The data is from partner Alexandre Giesbrecht, from ANOTAÇÕES TRICOLORES (learn more about the work by clicking here).

Before the defeat to Ceará, the smallest crowd had been in 2019, when 11,970 people watched the 1-0 victory over Vasco.

This is the first game of Tricolor at their home with less than 20,000 people since 16,827 fans were willing to go see the 2-0 victory over Academia Puerto Cabello, from Venezuela, for the Copa Sudamericana, on April 18, 2023.

Until then, the worst attendance of São Paulo at Morumbi this year was in the 3-1 defeat to Vasco, also for the Brasileirão, on June 12, when 20,332 fans were present.
