How many fans will be at Matildas vs. Denmark? Estimated crowd, attendance for World Cup match at Stadium Australia 

A total of 75,784 fans packed out Stadium Australia on Monday night — a sell-out.

It equals the attendance figure set at the Matildas' opening match against Ireland at the same venue. 

FIFA reconfigured the 83,500-seater stadium at Olympic Park - notably making room for a prominent media tribune - which reduced the number of seats available.

The adjusted capacity is listed as 75,784 on the official Women's World Cup site.

Where is Stadium Australia located?

Stadium Australia is located in Sydney, Australia.

It is part of the Sydney Olympic Park complex, which is nearest to the suburb of Homebush.

The stadium was built for the Olympic Games in 2000, where it hosted the opening and closing ceremonies, along with the track and field events.

It is the largest of the 10 venues selected for the 2023 World Cup, trumping the 56,581-seater Brisbane Stadium.

Fans can drive to Stadium Australia from the Sydney CBD in roughly 30 minutes, although organisers are strongly advising spectators to catch public transport to matches.

Why has Accor Stadium been re-named for the FIFA Women's World Cup?

Stadium Australia is primarily known as Accor Stadium for commercial reasons, but that has been adjusted due to FIFA regulations.

Because the Women's World Cup is a high-level international tournament, FIFA requires corporate branding to be removed from stadiums.

This has impacted other venues too, with Suncorp Stadium re-named 'Brisbane Stadium', whilst AAMI Park has become 'Melbourne Rectangular Stadium'.

FIFA Women's World Cup tickets

Whilst the majority of remaining matches are sold out, tickets are still available for some games at this year's Women's World Cup.

Authorised tickets for the 2023 Women's World Cup can only be purchased via the FIFA ticketing portal

To purchase seats for the event, fans must first create their own FIFA ticketing account.
