Expensive tickets

The FIFA Club World Cup promised to be the highlight of this sports summer. At least if we had to believe Gianni Infantino, the FIFA president.

But the reality is a whole lot different. Except for a few exceptions, like the games of Boca Juniors, Flamengo, Inter Miami or Real Madrid, most of the games are played in front of an almost empty stadium. Like this photo of the 1/8th final between Benfica and Chelsea.

The biggest reason for this is the ticket prices, some were over 500 USD for a first round game. And then there is the format that is completely new, but unknown for the fans. And especially the American fans. The stadiums are just too big for the American interest.

A miscast by Infantino by doing this in the USA!
The money completely blinds the FIFA bobo’s, but the fans are forgotten, sadly!

Sincerely,
