Will the Professional Football League (LFP) succeed in its challenge of filling a 55,000-seat stadium in Kuwait on January 8 for a PSG-OM? In any case, it’s off to a good start.
According to the figures given by the authority, almost the entire stadium is already full 24 hours before kick-off: 52 of the 55,000 tickets have been sold, i.e. 95% filling of the Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium.
Unexpected…
A result all the more surprising as neither OM nor PSG supporters will travel from France for the meeting. The Marseillais boycotted while PSG, who had offered an €800 package to its supporters for the trip, finally canceled due to lack of sufficient reservations.
The stadium should therefore essentially be made up of locals, guests and also fan clubs of the two teams based in the region. On the PSG side, fan clubs from Lebanon (around ten people) and Oman will be represented.
