The largest attendance in a single game
Brazil hosted one of the most unique editions of the World Cup in 1950 as it was the only tournament in which the winner was determined by a final group stage, with the final four teams playing in a round-robin format, instead of a knockout stage.
One of the biggest upsets occured in the final game between Uruguay and Brazil as Uruguay defeated the hosts 2-1 after which the final came to be known as the Maracanazo. But what did bypass your attention was that the final was watched by 199,854 people in the Maracana stadium which is the largest crowd to ever attend a World Cup match.
