Azerbaijani football club Qarabag confirmed Wednesday that over $640,000 in ticket revenue was collected from a charity match against Galatasaray.
Qarabag said in a statement that the fundraising match, which ended 2-1 in favor of the Turkish club on March 26, was played in front of 62,000 fans at Baku Olympic Stadium.
Baku Olympic Stadium, a 68,700-seat football venue, hosted the 2019 UEFA Europa League final and several matches during the UEFA EURO 2020 tournament.
