Santos fans break attendance record at Corinthians Stadium in 2024; See numbers | Saints

Santos fans put on a show at the Neo Química Arena during Peixe's 3-1 win over Red Bull Bragantino, sending Vila Belmiro back to the Campeonato Paulista final. What's more, Santos fans broke the attendance record at Corinthians Stadium throughout this season.

In total, Peixe placed 44,804 people in Itaquera on Wednesday night. Corinthians' best home attendance in 2024 was on March 2, in a 3-2 win over Santo Andre, which is still in the Paulistão group stage.

The total income – which is why the Santos board chose to send the semi-final away to Villa Belmiro – was more than R$3 million. The net amount must be shared with Bragantino, as the knockout match was played in one match.

The large attendance of Santos fans in Itaquera was cause for celebration behind the scenes. After all, Santos are in the Brazilian second tier, undergoing a rebuilding process and receiving support from their fans on and off the pitch.

The other time they played in the capital, São Paulo, this year, Peixe hosted 50,132,000 people in Morombes. At that time, Santos broke the stadium attendance record, a number that São Paulo has already regained.

Corinthians' biggest fans in Itaquera this season:

• Corinthians x Santo Andre – 43,379 paid
• Corinthians x Sao Paulo – £43,080
• Corinthians x Guarani – 42,357 payments
• Corinthians x Portuguesa – 39,592 paid
• Corinthians x Novorizontino – 39,407 paid
