Despite visible empty seats during weekday games, FIFA says they have surpassed 1.5 million Club World Cup ticket sold.

The messaging has not been visible during the opening round of fixtures at the tournament in stadiums or on social media platforms.

Germain and Atlético Madrid headline one of the most exciting matches of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup group stage.

From L.A.’s first 1951 soccer team, to the birthplace of U.S. youth soccer, to Chicharito’s arrival, L.A.’s soccer DNA runs deep.

The Club World Cup starts Saturday and will be played on warm-season grass grown at Tuckahoe Turf Farms in New Jersey.

To preview the tournament, The Post caught up with Cobi Jones, a legend of the U.S. men’s national team who knows a thing or two about big soccer games on American soil. Jones, 54, made 164 appearances for the USMNT, including all four matches at the iconic 1994 World Cup hosted in the States.
