On April 28, 2008, the Olympic torch first landed on North Korean soil, and the May Day Sports Stadium was the first large-scale sports facility through which the Olympic torch passed during its relay in North Korea. In 2010, the North Korean men's Football team, which reappeared on the World Cup stage after 44 years, further intensified the curiosity of the outside world about the local sports venues in North Korea. The famous Spanish sports newspaper Marca once published an article specifically introducing the Pyongyang May Day Stadium, praising it as the world's largest stadium, with a capacity "almost twice that of the Bernabeu Stadium and 50000 more people than Camp Nou.".
Finally, there are more actors than the audience at the May Day Sports Stadium, which is not a joke, there are examples:
In May 2002, a grand and exquisite dance was held at the stadium to celebrate the birthday of the late founding leader Kim Il sung and the 60th anniversary of former leader Kim Jong il. The event included 100000 participants dressed in bizarre costumes, which was twice as many as the audience.
The most attended match at the May Day Sports Stadium was a professional wrestling event held on April 29, 1995, with a total of 190000 spectators. This data really doesn't have anyone left, the tens of thousands of viewers who are standing hard are gone.
