The FIFA World Cup attracted the highest number, with over 3.4 million ticketed spectators, while the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow was second with 1.3 million and the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi third with 1.1 million.
With the exception of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow most of the multi-sport games in 2014 attracted fewer spectators than their 2010 counterparts, whilst the major world championships of 2014 attracted significantly more.
