Inter-Juve: San Siro sold out, 170 countries connected, 25 cameras

The Italian derby will once again be a show. It doesn’t matter if it will be the fourth of the season and therefore certainly not… a novelty. When Inter and Juventus face each other, even if access to the Coppa Italia final is at stake and not a trophy or three crucial points for the Scudetto, the match is an event in itself. That’s why tonight San Siro will be sold out, with both attendance and box office records for the history of the national cup.

What numbers

—

Sold out was announced at the Meazza for days: there will be over 75,000 spectators in the stands (75,380 against Benfica, a week ago) and the record set on 19 April 2022 will be surpassed when Inter-Milan 3-0, even in that in the case of the second leg of the Coppa Italia, there were 74,508 attendees for a collection of 4,156,710 euros. On that occasion, the record dating back to the Milan-Juventus final in 2016 was broken (66,555 spectators at the Olimpico, 3.92 million takings). Tonight the figure from the box office will be around 5 million. A double record that confirms a seasonal trend: the Nerazzurri crowd is… scudetto-worthy in terms of affection and attendance at the Meazza. The Curva Nord will cheer on the team and in the fanzine that will be sold before the match it will celebrate Inter’s return to the big four in Europe with the cover dedicated to the bombers still in the running for the trophy (Giroud, Lukaku, Benzema and Haaland) and an emblematic title (The return to Olympus).

Connected world

—

The television production will be entrusted to the Lega Serie A: 25 cameras will be used and at 6 pm always present in the first bracket matches, the drone and the “additions” of Canale 5 will be added, which will broadcast the match exclusively. There will be 40 broadcasters and the Italian derby will be visible in 170 countries around the world.

Great exes and VIPs
