FIFA Begs Fans to ‘Do the Right Thing’ and Buy Tickets to Women’s World Cup

With the Women’s World Cup getting underway Thursday, CNN reported Wednesday that FIFA was still struggling to sell tickets to the monthlong event, which is being co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand.
In an effort to turn that around, FIFA President Gianni Infantino implored New Zealanders to purchase tickets for the women’s soccer showcase.
“New Zealand, we want you. We need you,” Infantino said during a news conference Wednesday in Auckland.
“It’s never too late to do the right thing. Come to watch the matches. We need full stadiums to warm us all up,” he added, emphasizing the significance of enthusiastic support from the home crowd.
Joining Infantino was FIFA Secretary General Fatma Samoura, who echoed his sentiments and encouraged Kiwis not to delay in securing their tickets.
“We still have tickets available for some matches, so my only plea is don’t wait until the last moment,” Samoura said.
As part of the efforts to entice fans to attend the matches, the accounting firm Xero, an official partner of the Women’s World Cup, offered 20,000 free tickets for games in New Zealand’s four host cities, according to CNN.
While the complimentary ticket allocation has been fully utilized, the remaining tickets left unsold indicate interest in the event remains low.
The exact reason is unclear.

As a woman, much like Tigergirl10, I can’t stand women’s sports and don’t watch it. I tried watching a basketball game once or a soccer game, and it was just too slow.

do the right thing
I’m sorry, but I’m going to need an actual argument for why spending money to watch a sporting event is “the right thing” to do. It doesn’t just become a moral imperative because someone says it is

No way! I’ll support all USA international sports except those using that platform to push social agendas down our throats.

Crazy, maybe that’s why they keep allowing trannys to spice things up over there…

New Zealand and Australia are terrible host countries. They are literally in the middle of nowhere for the majority of the world.

As a woman who still plays competitive rec league, I support women in college sports because those are still fun to attend. Women's professional sports are just boring. And nothing is worse than women's pro soccer.

Youtube
This youtube dude got kicked out of a WNBA game because he bought 3 court side tickets, all next to each other and laid out in his PJs and then made a youtube video about how he couldn't sleep and tried everything and the doctor gave him one more option.. Watch the WNBA...
Then I think the day before he was at another WNBA game court side in which he got a ball that went out of bounds and instead of giving it to the official she took a shot..

Their citizens are probably still scared they’ll get beaten and sent to a covid concentration camp

Yes New Zealanders come watch the most spoiled corporate sponsored US Women's team take a knee and show how oppressed the US is and pay them women just like the men.
