FIFA has addressed concerns regarding the visible empty seats during World Cup matches by clarifying its official attendance reporting methodology. The organization stated that the attendance figures are based on the number of tickets that have been scanned and the actual spectators present within the stadium's footprint, rather than merely visual assessments of seating occupancy at any specific time during the match. This explanation comes amidst scrutiny over the perceived discrepancies between reported attendance and the number of fans seen in the stands.
