An estimated 15,000 England supporters are expected to fill seats at AT&T Stadium in Dallas for the team’s World Cup opener against Croatia on June 17. The UK Football Policing Unit projects between 12,000 and 15,000 England fans will attend each group-stage fixture throughout the tournament. AT&T Stadium holds roughly 94,000 people, meaning England’s contingent alone could account for around 16% of the venue’s capacity.
The World Cup’s growing crypto footprint
FIFA appointed Kraken as the Official Crypto Exchange Supporter for the tournament on June 9. More than 16,000 World Cup-themed tokens have launched on Solana in the lead-up to the tournament.
Several national teams have established official fan tokens through the Chiliz and Socios platform. Argentina has $ARG. Portugal has $POR. Belgium has $BELG. These tokens give holders voting rights on minor team decisions and serve as digital collectibles tied to national pride.
