Liverpool FC’s historic Anfield stadium achieved yet another milestone as it welcomed a record-breaking crowd for a league match. On a memorable day, the Reds hosted Brighton & Hove Albion, and an impressive 60,061 fans filled the iconic stadium to witness Premier League action. This attendance surpasses the previous record set during the home match against Manchester City earlier this month, where 59,947 spectators were present.
The Anfield Road Stand Expansion
The expansion of the Anfield Road Stand has been pivotal in achieving these remarkable attendance figures. Throughout the current season, Liverpool has consistently broken its own records, leaving behind the previous highest number of supporters, which stood since 1949 when Chelsea visited Anfield, drawing a crowd of 58,757.
A Historic Venue
While this league attendance record is impressive, it’s essential to recognize Anfield’s rich history. The all-time highest attendance at Anfield occurred during an FA Cup tie against Wolverhampton Wanderers back in 1952, with a staggering 61,905 fans filling the stands. This enduring legacy continues to inspire fans and players alike.
