How many people are there in this picture?

According to official data presented by FC Legia Warsaw, this football match was seen by 21 500 people and the same number of audience should be on this photography.
The majority of Legia’s fan clubs came to the capital of Poland. There were also delegations of our friends - fans of Pogoń Szczecin, Zagłębie Sosnowiec, Olimpia Elbląg, Juventus Turin and of course ADO Den Haag. The Dutchmen were the biggest group of all our friends at the stadium. It is hard to estimate the total number of Den Haag's fans but surely there were between 350 and 400 people from the Netherlands. Most of them were sitting in the upper corner of "Żyleta", the rest of them were located in the centre of "Zyleta" where they were trying to learn Legia's songs.
