Maracanã

Not counting the Maracanã matches, the average attendance was a still-impressive 37,500; however, the only venues that saw crowds comparable to or greater than those in recent World Cups were the Maracanã and São Paulo.

In the main event at Mini Maracanã, Rodz was no match for the skilled Patterson, who easily defeated his opponent to unify his North American Championship with the new South American Championship, instantly creating the Intercontinental Title.

Last Wednesday, a match between Fluminense and Santos attracted 7,438 fans, filling barely 10 percent of the Maracanã, Brazil’s most famous soccer stadium.

Brazil played all its final group matches at the Estádio do Maracanã in Rio while the games that didn't involve the host nation were played in São Paulo.

In 2014, the Maracanã hosted seven matches, including the final between Germany and Argentina.

In the second leg, Pelé scored a hat-trick in the Estádio do Maracanã as Santos won, 0–4, in the second leg.

The Maracanã in the then-capital of Rio de Janeiro hosted eight matches, including all but one of the host's matches, including the infamous Maracanazo match in the second round robin group that decided the winners of the tournament.

The Maracanã was also the location of the infamous tournament-deciding match between Uruguay and Brazil, where Brazil only needed a draw to win the final group stage and the whole tournament.
