The Pernambucan team has seen a significant increase in attendance, with a record 44,900 fans attending their match against Floresta last Sunday. This surge in popularity has pushed Santa Cruz into the top 20, ahead of five Série A teams: Botafogo, Santos, Chapecoense, Mirassol, and Bragantino. The team's average attendance is now 14,363 fans per match.
Flamengo remains at the top of the ranking, with an average attendance of 52,311 fans per match. Corinthians is second, with an average of 38,908 fans per match. Cruzeiro is third, with an average of 33,438 fans per match. Bahia and São Paulo complete the top five, with averages of 30,955 and 28,744 fans per match, respectively.
Santa Cruz's rise to prominence in the attendance ranking is a testament to their strong performance in the Série C this season. The team has been leading their group in the quadrangular for access and has sold over 229,808 tickets this season.
The attendance figures are calculated by summing the number of tickets used and subtracting the total number of tickets used that are zero in the revenue collection.
