Atlanta United almost breaks the world record at the MLS game in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium

If you still question Atlanta's love of football, it could be time to highlight under the rock under which you have hidden. Last Saturday, 65,520 fans unpacked the Mercedes-Benz Stadium and transformed the Atlanta United house into an absolute volcano. This was not just a game, it was a show, a collective publication of emotions that shook the grandstand and proved that football stays here in the USA and Atlanta? You lead this revolution.

Atlanta United became a 3-2 victory in a game against CF Montréal that had everything: debut of a star, the return of a legend, a legendary goalkeeper, and a gambling goal, in which the stadium was trembling like the stadium Concept to collapse. If the MLS season needed a large entrance, it was just handed over a golden business card.

But let's be real, the real stars of the night were fans. If at all, this Saturday has proven that Atlanta United is not just a team, but a phenomenon. The 65,520 fans who flooded the stadium are the living proof that this city has fully accepted football in a way that would have considered a few years ago. And that's why the club now has the third largest number of visitors for a football game on a Saturday worldwide. This is not the first time that Atlanta leads the MLS present, and it will certainly not be the last. But so closer to a world record? After this debut from MLS 2025, I have nothing more from Atlanta.

While some teams still play in half -empty stadiums, Atlanta shows both on and outside the field. The fans known as “17S” are loud, passionate and are damn sure that everyone knows that Atlanta is a football town. From the first pipe to far behind the last, the stadium was like a pressure cooker on the edge of the bubble of his lid. Calls, chants and this special connection between team and fans became Mercedes-Benz in an absolute hell for the opponents and a sanctuary for everyone who rocks the colors of Atlanta.

And if this is only the beginning of the season, imagine what will come next. The record may be built on the line, but one thing is certain: Atlanta United has already stamped his name in the history books of world football.
