A-League grand final chasing record crowd

With 50,000 tickets sold as of Wednesday night, Sunday's A-League grand final between Perth Glory and Sydney FC is poised to break a number of crowd records.

Despite some criticism over the decision to play the grand final at Optus Stadium, the larger venue is proving invaluable for fans desperate to see their team in action.

The largest ever A-League grand final crowd currently stands at 55,436 - set in 2007 when Melbourne Victory beat Adelaide United at Marvel Stadium.

While the biggest crowd overall in A-League history was set at ANZ Stadium in 2016 with 61,880 fans turning out.
