The line graph compares the average attendance at top-level football matches in Italy, England and Germany between 1980 and 2004
The line graph illustrates the number of individuals attending professional football games in various countries over a period of 24 years starting from 1980.
Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that top-level football matches in Germany and Italy attracted more attendees throughout the period, whereas the opposite trend could be observed in England. Despite recording the lowest data point at the start of the period, Germany became the country where attendance level was highest by the end of the timeframe.
In 1980, the statistics for attendees of professional football matches was lowest at 25,000, slightly lower than England’s number at 26,000. Germany and England’s figures thereafter witnessed downward trajectories to reach 23,000 and 19,000, respectively. Over the last 18 years, both countries’ data rebounded, with the former increasing more significantly to end at 34,000 and the latter more slightly to 33,000.
At the beginning of the period, England reported the highest level of attendance at 35,000. This figure then reached a zenith of 37,000, before plummeting to culminate at only 24,000 in 2004.
