A majority of these numbers were found at EFS (European Football Statistics)

I'm still looking for a decent source for African and Asian attendance figures. If anybody knows of a good/reliable source for that info please let me know. I would imagine places like Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Thailand, India, etc. might make the list, but I haven't been able to find attendance info for those leagues.

  1. Steve, I think your Norway attendance is 2 years old...E-F-S has Norway's Tippeligaen at 8,956 lasr season (2009).
    PS, I see a few of sites (like a Turkish football blog) have referred to this post.

  2. If you need data of attendance in Indonesia Super League, please check http://jakartacasual.blogspot.com/2010/05/indonesia-super-league-average.html

    However, the actual average attendance will be more than 1.158. this is because usually, not all Indonesia spectatators can enter the stadium. As the coming spectators are can twice till 4 times the capacity of stadium, they watch the match outside the stadium and in some large fields by using very big screen.
