Flamengo supplied the first six club-season entries in the CBF list.
The new mark exceeded Flamengo’s 2019 average
The difference between the 2025 snapshot and Flamengo’s previous record is 3,028 attendees per home match, about 5.1%. The 2019 average was 59,285. The CBF list also places Flamengo’s 2023, 2022, 2024 and 2018 figures above every other club-season shown. Source 1
A single match and a home average answer different questions
The 73,244 figure was the crowd at the match against Ceará in round 37. The club’s 62,313 figure is an average across 19 home games. The CBF also records 72,565 for Flamengo’s match against Cruzeiro and 71,651 against Palmeiras in the same season. Source 1
The 2025 comparisons have a publication date
The CBF marked its Flamengo, Cruzeiro and Corinthians entries as ongoing on 4 December, when the league season still had a final round. It separately states that Flamengo had played 19 home games. The data preserve the release’s markers so comparisons retain their context. Source 1
Attendance and paid attendance are distinct
The federation’s 2024 league review illustrates the difference. It recorded 25,773 paying attendees per match league-wide and 26,836 present. The table here uses the CBF’s home-crowd list and keeps the broader league measure separate. Source 1 Source 2
