Soccer-Not the US pastime, but 'beautiful game' grows for Americans ahead of World Cup

* Soccer's popularity grows in U.S. ahead of 2026 World Cup * Sport has developed enormously since U.S. was host in 1994 * Atlanta takes soccer spotlight with new training centre NEW YORK, - With one year left to go until the 2026 World Cup, U.S. host cities and soccer fanatics hope the record-breaking quadrennial spectacle will elevate the "beautiful game" for American fans traditionally more keen on a different type of football. FIFA President Gianni Infantino said three years ago he expected soccer to become the region's top sport when the largest-ever edition of the tournament plays out in North America in 2026, with Mexico and Canada co-hosting with the U.S. While the sport has a long way to go to loosen the vice-grip that the men's "Big Four" professional sports leagues have on U.S. fans, the quadrennial spectacle will play out in a country transformed from its last hosting gig in 1994. Professional soccer was a relative non-entity in the U.S. at that point, with Major League Soccer two years out from its debut season. And while 94,194 turned up in the Rose Bowl stands for an underwhelming 0-0 draw in the final - Brazil ultimately beat Italy 3-2 on penalties - the sport took time to capture mainstream American interest from that point. "There's no way anybody would have thought that it would be at the level that it is now," said Eddie Pope, who played in the MLS from its first season, beginning with D.C. United, before moving to the then-New York/New Jersey MetroStars and Real Salt Lake. " my days at Real Salt Lake, we literally - our locker room was in a strip mall. And you didn't know where we were going to train in some days." The retired defender is now helping develop the next generation as chief sporting officer at Carolina Core FC, an MLS Next Pro club that hopes its new 11,000 square-foot training facility could serve as a base camp in the World Cup. "For kids that come in now, they have no idea," Pope told Reuters. "The players are better, the coaches are better. The referees are better - everything's better. And it took time, but I would say that we've moved at lightning speed." With 11 of the 16 World Cup host cities located in the U.S., organisers hope to build a new legacy for the sport in 2026, even as the men's national team struggles to click under new manager Mauricio Pochettino. Atlanta, which was left off the roster in 1994 as it prepared to host the Summer Olympics in 1996, will become the country's unofficial soccer capital when the U.S. federation opens its first-ever national training centre there in April. With eight matches scheduled for the southern hub city, including one semi-final, Atlanta expects roughly $500 million of economic impact. "You've a men's league that's been developed. You have international games coming in droves to the United States," said Tim Zulawski, president of Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank's AMB Sports & Entertainment. "And ultimately, what you really have is kids having idols and people to look up to."

Watch Messi for just $4? FIFA slashes prices for Club World Cup opener

Football fans could watch Lionel Messi for as little as $4 as FIFA slashed ticket prices for the opening game of the 2025 Club World Cup in the United States. Messi-led Inter Miami will take on Egyptian club Al-Ahly at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on June 14. FIFA extended an offer to Miami Dade College students, providing a single ticket at $20 with an additional benefit of receiving up to four free tickets, as reported by The Athletic. Email promotions are currently being distributed to Miami Dade College affiliates, following their partnership with FIFA announced in April 2024. The collaboration enables students to undertake internships at FIFA's Miami office, while the college receives exhibits on loan from FIFA's museum. According to FIFA's partnership announcement from the previous year, Miami Dade College maintains an enrolment exceeding 100,000 students.

This pricing structure benefits the locals significantly, yet falls considerably short of FIFA's initial vision for this competition, which they had positioned as the premier club football tournament globally. FIFA has been selling general tickets for the newly expanded 32-team Club World Cup using a dynamic pricing model, where ticket prices rise or fall based on demand. The noticeable drop in prices for certain matches highlights FIFA's ongoing challenges in filling stadiums for the tournament, despite its global appeal. ALSO READ: Messi in spotlight as FIFA's Club World Cup 2025 set to kick off in US According to The Athletic, as of last Tuesday, ticket prices for Inter Miami's match against Al-Ahly have fallen to $55 on Ticketmaster, FIFA's official ticketing platform for the tournament. The current price represents a 50% reduction from May's rates, while January's lowest-priced seats were $230, and December's post-draw prices stood at $349.

FIFA hopes the affordable pricing will attract new fans and create a vibrant atmosphere for the tournament's debut in North America, where soccer continues to grow in popularity. But, the big question is whether this pricing strategy for the locals will succeed in attracting a larger audience or not. Economic Times WhatsApp channel )
