Chelsea's Fifa Club World Cup match against Los Angeles FC faced a notable lack of attendance, with the 75,000-capacity Mercedes-Benz Stadium revealing thousands of empty seats. Scheduling the match on a working Monday was a contributing factor. While FIFA anticipated around 26,000 fans, it became evident that many seats remained unfilled, particularly in the larger sections of the stadium. In contrast to past events, such as a sold-out friendly two years prior, this lackluster turnout raised questions about interest in FIFA's expanded tournament format and its weekday match scheduling.
