Carabao Cup sets attendance record; 1.7 million tickets sold

Carabao Cup attendances reached their highest level in nearly 25 years, with over 1.7 million tickets sold, marking a 20% increase from last season. The final at Wembley was sold out, featuring Newcastle's victory over Liverpool. This year's final was broadcast for free on ITV, the first time in over a decade, which officials expect will boost audience numbers. Newcastle won 2-1, ending a 70-year trophy drought. The increased attendance reflects a successful season for the Carabao Cup, with strong support from fans throughout the competition.
