São Paulo's lowest crowd in a decade as they leave Vila Belmiro | OneFootball

Without considering games with capacity restrictions during the covid-19 pandemic, the victory over Juventude corresponded to São Paulo's worst attendance as a host in almost ten years.

To find a total lower than the 6,468 fans who passed through the turnstiles at Vila Belmiro, we need to go back to the match against Botafogo (SP) in March 2016, during that year's Campeonato Paulista, when 2,970 people bought tickets, in addition to another 244 who entered for free.

However, in matches valid for the Campeonato Brasileiro, it had been even longer since the Tricolor hosted a game in front of fewer people: since July 2013, in a defeat to Internacional at Morumbi, which had an attendance of 6,275 people.

Although the São Paulo home has recorded more than five hundred games with smaller crowds than this Sunday (23), they have become rare in the last 20 years, particularly in Brasileirão games.

This century, São Paulo has hosted 43 matches with fewer than 7,000 fans in the stands, but, including the match against Juventude, only eight of them happened after 2005.
