US EditionReport: FIFA Slashes Prices for Inter Miami's CWC Opener
- FIFA has significantly lowered the cost of admission for the opening match of the 2025 Club World Cup between Inter Miami and Al-Ahly, scheduled for June 14 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.
- Poor initial sales forced several price cuts from $349 in December down to the current $55 to boost attendance at the newly expanded 32-team tournament.
- Despite high hopes that Lionel Messi's involvement and Miami's vibrant Latin American community would boost demand, a large portion of the 65,326-seat stadium remains unsold ahead of the event.
- FIFA officials expressed concern over weak demand but prioritized filling the stadium for atmosphere over revenue, while Messi continues to lead Inter Miami into this global competition.
- The ticket struggles may indicate broader challenges for FIFA’s goal to create a commercially competitive Club World Cup rivaling the UEFA Champions League in viewership and prestige.
