The sports broadcasting landscape has been shaken up dramatically in the last five years, and the next decade will see even further radical change.

FIFA Club World Cup 2025: Real Madrid's draw with Al Hilal was watched by more than 62,000 fans at Hard Rock Stadium, taking the total attendance of the tournament through the half a million barrier. The average attendance for the 14 matches played so far is more than 38,000.

That average currently stands as more than 9 editions of the UEFA European Championship, every edition of the FIFA Women's World Cup, 6 editions of the FIFA World Cup, every edition of the Cricket World Cup and 5 editions of the Rugby World Cup.

This is the first ever version of this tournament on this scale, being played in a country where football is still the number four or five sport. They may come in their droves to a tournament which features nations playing against each other, but the local population only follows a few of the clubs playing. Kick-off times and locations of certain games certainly have not helped the attendance numbers.

As soon as LAFC qualified, their games should have been moved to the Rose Bowl, no matter what the logistical issues would have been for Chelsea. Pachuca v RB Salzburg in Cincinnati is never going to attract a large audience. That is just the inevitable consequence of a global club competition like this. But that is no reason to not play the event, or for these clubs to be discounted from playing.

Bournemouth could have qualified for Europe next season, would they be disregarded because they only have 10,000+ fans? Of course not.
