4 ways how US soccer benefited from the Miami El Clásico
Jul 30, 2017 · 1 min read
- The world’s best 22 players being hosted on American soil certainly adds credit points to the nation’s potential to host larger soccer events like the World Cup. World Cup in all red white and blue, an American soccer fan fantasy.
- Once the El Clásico’s final whistle is blown, and those kids have experienced the world’s biggest sport rivalry, they will want to replicate or engage in similar events throughout the year, and where is better to do so than their local teams?
- Having such events anywhere on the planet means that probably the most important and influential people in all corners of the business are present too, an opportunity to have workshops, training courses and business opportunities in all aspects of the game. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid came to Cairo to face Al Ahly before, what did they leave behind? soccer schools.
- The game turns the world’s eye to one stadium for 90 minutes. Multiple soccer fans around the globe would be amazed by how many attended the game and would probably dig deeper into American soccer and the MLS.
