Thank you
That’s a wrap.
Cup Diary was built for one summer: a page per match, all 104of them, so the biggest World Cup ever wouldn’t blur into a single memory. Thank you to everyone who filled one in.
With the tournament finished, the diary has stopped taking new entries and new accounts. What’s left is an archive — every result, all 48 nations, all 16 stadiums — free to read without an account.
Accounts are closed and the diary itself has been retired — what remains is the record of the tournament, kept here for anyone who wants to look back at it.
Worth remembering
●Spain won its second men’s World Cup, and became the first nation to hold the men’s and women’s titles at the same time.
●The first 48-team World Cup: 104 matches across three host nations.
●A record 6,810,966 fans attended — the highest total in World Cup history, nearly double the 1994 mark.
●2.96 goals per match, the highest rate at a World Cup since 1970.
●Kylian Mbappé won a second consecutive Golden Boot and became the all-time World Cup top scorer.

Look back
at all of it.
