Serie A attendances drop to record low

Published on: 05 September 2016

The opening two rounds of the 2016/17 Serie A season have seen the lowest crowd turnout for a decade, with a decrease of 8 per cent.

Over 60 goals were scored across the two weekends of football, which saw surprising results for the likes of Pescara and Genoa, and there have been plenty of coaching changes already with Davide Ballardini leaving Palermo and Paulo Sousa set to depart Fiorentina.

Despite the drama, statistics released by DynamiTick show that the total number of fans who saw their club play was 426,388, a record low since the 2007/08 season for an opening fortnight.

The total number of tickets sold were just over half of the available number, with 405,549 tickets remaining unsold, equalling 49 per cent.

Domestic football on the peninsula returns this weekend, with fixtures including Juventus hosting Sassuolo, surprise dark horses Genoa hosting Fiorentina and Pescara playing Inter.
