New Delhi, Nov 11: The ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup has welcomed its one millionth fan through the gates as the event remains on track to break the record as the most attended ICC tournament ever.
The one millionth fan came through the turnstiles during the match between South Africa and Afghanistan at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday, the same venue that will host the World Cup final on November 19.
With six matches still to go before the completion of the 13th edition of the tournament, the 2023 event remains on target to break the record and become the most attended Cricket World Cup ever.
ICC Head of Events Chris Tetley believes the tournament has already been a great success and is looking forward to more records being broken during the knockout stage.
“With over one million attendees and record-breaking viewership, the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 has reminded cricket fans around the world of the support and interest in the ODI format that highlights how much World Cup cricket is valued,” Tetley said.
“As we look ahead to the knockout stages, we look forward to this event breaking more records and showcasing the best about cricket in one day.”
