superior In a recent UEFA report, West Ham is mentioned for two very distinct reasons.

After three seasons in Europe, West Ham has an odd relationship with UEFA,

and they have now been mentioned in a major new study.

West Ham was fined by UEFA, and supporters were prohibited from attending their first away European match of the previous season.
In addition, the governing body of European football notoriously selected a 20,000-seat stadium for the club’s most significant and unforgettable game in the previous 43 years.

In the Europa Conference League final played at Slavia Prague’s home field last summer, West Ham prevailed.

But the number of Hammers supporters inside the stadium to witness such a unique occasion could only be about 6,000.

Despite this, West Ham enjoyed their trips throughout Europe,

which ended a few months ago when they faced Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League quarterfinal.

And the club takes great pride in letting everyone know they’ve been the champions of Europe.

The Hammers belt that out as they also highlight the fact they’re massive everywhere they go too.

It’s possible that West Ham doesn’t always field the best team.

However, the club’s supporters give it a hard time.

West Ham now has unquestionable evidence of it.
elite A brand-new, 105-page UEFA report names West Ham.

For two very different reasons, elite West Ham has been mentioned in a new UEFA study spanning 105 pages.

The second-ever European Club Talent and Competition Landscape report from UEFA has been made available.

The Intelligence Center at UEFA has produced a study that highlights the structure and

configuration of the European football scene, as well as the achievements and

difficulties faced by the players and teams that compete there.

“It goes beyond the headlines to provide granularity on topics like the noteworthy magnitude of attendance at matches,

the current trends in transfers, and information regarding player usage and

head coach career pathways,” according to UEFA.

“The goal of the UEFA Intelligence Center landscape reports is to support evidence-based planning

and policymaking by bringing transparency to European football for a long time.”

After scouring the extensive report, Hammers News found two mentions of West Ham.

As a member of UEFA’s 1 million club, West Ham is absolutely enormous.

The first is covered by UEFA’s attendance analysis. Additionally,

it places West Ham in an extremely exclusive group, demonstrating the true magnitude of the Hammers.

A group known as “the 1 million crowd club” exists within UEFA.

There are just 16 teams in the elite group, and West Ham is one of them.

It takes into account both capacity and the proportion of capacity occupied by all games,

including league, domestic cup, and European competition.

And West Ham, which is ranked eighth in the table with an official capacity of 62,549 and a staggering total of over 1.5 million, has a 97% full capacity ratio.

The Hammers are just behind Real Madrid, AC Milan, Roma, and Bayern Munich.

So as far as fanbases go, West Ham are officially the eighth biggest club in Europe.

Man United top the list with over 1.8 million total attendance. Meanwhile

West Ham are above other Premier League rivals including Spurs, Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City.

West Ham capacity: 62,569, % capacity full: 97%, league total attendance: 1,188,818, domestic cups total: 124,631,

European competition total: 259,548, combined total: 1,572,997.

A substitution statistic reveals that Hammers had to adjust.

The report makes another reference to West Ham.

And it’s evidence, if any were required, that the Hammers needed to change managers in the summer.

Because West Ham is listed as one of the teams in all of Europe that makes the fewest replacements.

Sweden’s Halmstads BK used the fewest substitutions out of all 324 clubs evaluated, averaging just 2.8 of the five allowed substitutions each game.

Two English teams, West Ham (2.9) and champions Manchester City (3), came after them.

One of the main grievances held by supporters of the Hammers was David Moyes’s reluctance to make substitutions.

Julen Lopetegui has demonstrated already that he

the polar opposite in that respect, hauling players off at half-time and regularly making all five changes.

It also highlights West Ham lack of squad depth under Moyes, which has also now been addressed.

UEFA’s remarks regarding attendance

During the 2023–24 season, sixteen clubs—six in England, three in Germany and Italy,

two in Spain, and one each in Scotland and France—saw home league attendance of one million or more.

Borussia Dortmund recorded the greatest attendance for all competitive matches,

but Manchester United had the closest aggregate league attendance thanks to a strong UCL run. At 81,305,

Borussia Dortmund had the greatest average league attendance as well.

The capacity of the stadium obviously affects attendance; FC Barcelona is noticeably missing from the list of teams with the greatest attendance in the 2023–2024 season due to their temporary relocation to make room for stadium renovations.

Borussia Dortmund, FC Bayern München, Arsenal FC, and

Real Madrid were the only teams to fill their stadiums to capacity.

A additional 16 clubs are added to the list if attendance at domestic cup and UEFA club competition matches is taken into account. If all competitive matches are taken into account, the following non-Big 5 leagues have welcomed more than a million spectators to their stadiums: SL Benfica, Rangers FC, AFC Ajax, Feyenoord, and Fenerbahçe SK. FC Schalke 04

and Hertha BSC Berlin are the only second-tier clubs to have cumulative attendance levels above one million,

underscoring the strength of the European football pyramid.
