The Club World Cup saw another empty stand! Japanese team participated in the competition, with only 10,000 people watching, slapping Infantino in the face

The Club World Cup is in full swing in the United States. Many games from the giants have attracted more spectators to watch the game on site, but some games have also encountered a cold show. Yesterday, only 20,000 people came to watch the Chelsea game. And today, an even more embarrassing scene happened.

In the early morning of this year, in the group stage of the Club World Cup, Japanese team Urawa Red Diamonds played against South American giants River Plate. During the game, the Hanpu team scored 3 headers, while Urawa Red Diamond scored 1 penalty. In the end, Urawa Red Diamond lost 1-3. The weakness of Asian teams' insufficient height is infinitely magnified in this game.

In this game, a large number of empty seats appeared in the stands, with an estimated attendance rate of only 15%. After the game, official data showed that only 11,974 people came to watch the game, which is the lowest attendance record since the start of this year's Club World Cup. The media believes that this is mainly because Urawa Red Diamonds and Riverbed have few fans in the United States.

In response to the embarrassment of the lack of audiences in the Club World Cup, the British media "Daily Mirror" specially issued a special article to mock FIFA President Infantino. In the article, British media said: "Fifa bosses' faces are about to be red, just like the red seats in the stands."

In order to allow more fans to enter the court, FIFA has lowered the ticket price of the Club World Cup, but this move has not achieved good results. In addition, the broadcast ratings of the Club World Cup are not ideal. Take Bayern's 10-0 victory over Auckland City as an example. The average rating of the game on Channel 5 of the UK was 392,000, while the average rating of the English U21 team match was 562,000.

Club World Cup is a new type of event created and promoted by FIFA Infantino. In order to attract giant teams from all continents to participate, FIFA spent a lot of money this time and prepared a huge prize of US$1 billion for 32 teams.
