LOS ANGELES: Fifa president Gianni Infantino said on Tuesday that one million fans have so far attended matches at the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

“Wow! 1 million fans in stadiums!,” Infantino wrote on Instagram.

“A huge thank you to all our passionate supporters who continue to fill the stadiums – you have brought the most inclusive Fifa World Cup to life.”

The expanded 48-team World Cup kicked off last Thursday and 16 of the scheduled 104 matches have been played.

The run-up to the tournament had been marked by fierce criticism of the price of tickets for matches, as well as visa restrictions impacting fans from certain countries entering the US.
