Official attendance figures reflect the number of tickets scanned and spectators present within the stadium footprint, rather than visual assessments of seating occupancy at any given moment during the match. FIFA works closely with stadium authorities and ticketing teams to ensure all published figures are based on verified operational data.
Please note that, during last night’s match in Guadalajara, several ticketed fans could be seen standing in concourses rather than staying in their assigned seats throughout the match.

Of the regular starting XI from the title win less than half will play in this game.
And it will be played against a team including Luke Steele & Dan Gosling.
The whole thing was an afterthought.
Clearly no one had been asked if they could/would play before it was announced.
