Following the results of the group stage and the quarterfinals, the Euro 2012 stadiums has been attended by about 1.3 million fans. This is a record number of viewers, according to the UEFA official statistics.
In particular, Euro 1960 in France was attended by 78 thousand fans, Euro 1964 in Spain - 156 thousand, Euro 1968 in Italy - 192 thousand, Euro 1972 in Belgium and Euro 1976 in Yugoslavia - 106 thousand each, Euro 1980 in Italy - 350 thousand, Euro 1984 in France – 600 thousand, Euro 1988 in Germany - 936 thousand, Euro 1992 in Sweden - 429 thousand.

At the same time, the average attendance index of Euro 2012 stadiums makes up 45.507 fans. The highest index was fixed in Germany in 1988, but those days the stadiums had few comfortable zones and were more spacious.
In view of the next three matches, to be held at the biggest stadiums of the tournament ( in particular about 65 thousand tickets have been sold for the final in Kyiv) the index of attendance of all the Euro 2012 matches is expected to exceed 1.4 million fans.
