Low attendance marks World Cup match between Qatar and Switzerland

A World Cup Group B match between Qatar and Switzerland at Levi’s Stadium saw a significant lack of fan turnout on Saturday. The crowd was filled with the color red from Swiss fans, as many seats remained empty, causing concerns among organizers. Levi’s Stadium, which can hold up to 70,000 for the event, recorded an official count of fewer than 1,000 empty seats. Ticket prices have been a point of contention, with reports of prices exceeding $1,000, prompting complaints from fans and notable figures, including former President Trump. FIFA has faced criticism over empty seats during matches at this tournament.
