Nah, I expect most games to sell out. The US has a huge population and even though soccer isn’t the most popular sport here over 25 million people in the US watched the 2022 World Cup final. Qatar’s entire population is only 2.8 million people, which was part of the issue, there simply weren’t that many local fans attending. The US will provide more local fans simply by virtue of having 100+ times the population.

Add in the fact that travel from Latin America will be much easier and Latin American fans travel in huge numbers, and the fact European fans won’t be as bothered by the location in terms of controversy, and I suspect attendances will be high.
