Second ever Brazilian WC

The last FIFA World Cup was hosted by Brazil and the tournament recorded an average stadium attendance of52918 fans across 12 venues and cities.

Despite the Brazilian team's horrendous semi-final 7-1 loss to Germany, the fans supported the national team in their third-place loss to the Netherlands just days later.

Germany went on to pip Argentina to the World Cup, as a Mario Gotze goal was enough to separate the two sides in the final. An enthralling competition that had a little bit of everything, the Rio World Cup lived up to all the hype and expectation from a neutral's point of view.

The 14 tournament was the second time Brazil hosted the event since 1950, which was also a massive disappointment for the home fans, as the country lost the final to rivals Uruguay.

However, the fifth edition of the World Cup in South America saw attendances skyrocket and is second on the list of highest average stadium attendance in the competition's history.
