Olympics | Olympic basketball attendance breaks record, says FIBA secretary general

PARIS, Aug. 11 (Xinhua) -- Andreas Zagklis, secretary general of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), said here on Sunday that the basketball tournament attendance of Paris 2024 will definitely break the record.

The Olympic record for attendance in the basketball tournaments was 1,068,000, set at Atlanta 1996. "At the end of the Australia bronze medal game, we had 1,066,000 and unless you expect less than 2,000 attending the final, we will be making an Olympic record today," Zagklis said at a press conference before the women's final between the United States and the hosts France.
