Club World Cup - Summer 2025

[supercity88]

Fuck me do the Beeb want to talk about empty seats anymore?!

It's the middle of the day, quite fucking obvious as to why no one is there watching!!!

Bet if the rags or dippers were in it, they'd say 20,000 hardcore fans made the trip!

 

[jrb]

Social media will be awash with the goons pointing out the attendance

Am I a goon? ;-)

Chelsea start Club World Cup campaign to empty seats

Chelsea kick off their Fifa Club World Cup campaign against Los Angeles FC to tens of thousands of empty seats in Atlanta.

Seriously.

Why would FIFA put LAFC against Chelsea in Atalanta, 2000 miles away from LA, on a Monday at 3pm, when most of the locals in Atalanta are still at work?

Let's see what happens with the 'evening' Boca v Benfica game. I think the low Chelsea attendance might be down to the working day. Not an issue at the weekend but might be an issue in midweek.

Our game on Weds is approx. midday local time which might mean a smaller crowd? Something to look out for.

I would be shocked if boca v benfica isn't packed

Exactly, it's done on pure bitterness from the spiteful twats

Is that why we let KDB leave?

You do realise LAFC were a last minute substitution? Probably not.

The only place that would be full at 3pm on a Monday (when most people are working) would be Liverpool, for obvious reasons.

You mean this?

LAFC defeated Mexican powerhouse Club América 2-1 in extra time in the Club World Cup Play-In match to become the tournament’s final qualifier.

Weds 12pm lunch time kick off, local time for us.

Kids at school. People at work.

Be about 20 people there ha!

Haven't the schools finished for the summer break? I know they have in some areas of USA.

At least you know now. It wasn't the plan.

I thought they were playing in Atlanta not Italy ? [emoji6][emoji16]

 

[Coljj]

This is from the Copa America at the Hard Rock stadium. They aren't at the actual ground, they are at Cosm with its 8K immersive dome screen

 

[Impeccable One]

Looking at our game in Atlanta, 3rd tier is closed, 2nd tier sold about 85% and 1st tier around 50%. Think we’ll be 25,000-30,000 at best.

Just like to say ,I think the whole tournament is a brilliant event ,from what I’ve seen most stadiums are well attended ,much more so than previous world cups I’ve watched over the years , the coverage on DANZ is excellent,I think most people will be gutted they are not out there as the competition progresses
