Dynamo set unwanted attendance record in Europa League qualifying opener

Dynamo kicked off their European campaign with a dubious milestone. In the first leg of the Europa League first qualifying round against Universitatea Cluj, only 1,795 fans showed up — the lowest attendance across all matches on that matchday, according to analytics portal Football Meets Data. The contrast couldn't have been starker. In Azerbaijan, Qarabag drew 23,549 spectators for their clash with Vestri, making it the most attended game of the round. The top five most popular matches were: 1. Qarabag vs Vestri — 23,549 2. Hajduk vs Zilina — 22,532 3. CSKA Sofia vs Derry City — 12,713 4. Vojvodina vs Ferencvaros — 6,557 5. Sheriff vs Aluminij — 5,634 Return legs are scheduled for Tuesday, July 16, when all ties will be decided. Dynamo will aim to turn things around in Romania, hoping for a stronger showing on the road.
