After a month of passionate competition, the Qatar World Cup has come to a successful conclusion. FIFA has just unveiled the viewing figures, the final attracted up to 1.5 billion viewers, while the number of viewers and attention for the whole tournament reached a staggering 5 billion, a record high.
According to media reports, the final between Argentina and France attracted 1.5 billion viewers, a figure that surpassed the 1.3 billion for the Super Bowl in the U.S. The UEFA Champions League final had an audience of about 400 million, a far cry from the World Cup in Qatar.
Argentina's captain Mez shared his journey on his personal social media accounts a month after winning the title, exclaiming: "It's been one of the best months in the world, we've been crazy to finally lift the coveted trophy.
Winning the title made everything perfect, I had a great month here and made great memories. I miss my teammates, I miss my teammates, I miss our conversations, I miss our training, I miss everything we've done ...... and the passionate celebrations from my family and from the people of Argentina, it's all been so good.
Thank God for giving me so much, I knew it was coming but couldn't imagine how crazy the crowds involved in the celebration would be when it came true.
