Hope they get Clermont foot Vs le harve
Outside of psg games noone in usa will care
ligue 1 mcdonald’s league
No, they still predominantly support the PL
But there are still some fans of PSG,Lyon and Marseille there who support them
Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the boss of BeIN and PSG, doesn’t care.
Great idea 🤡
At least away supporters will be allowed to attend the games.
As opposed to cup games, preseason friendlies, etc.
‘Regular season’ adds more context to people only really familiar with American sports as well (though I’m not sure how many American’s unfamiliar with European leagues would be clicking on an article about Ligue 1 in the first place).
I’m sure Jake (24, Minesotta) is absolutely buzzing to attend a Clermont-Reims
That’s Clermont FOOT, to be precise!
Modern day football in a nutshell.
PSG has definitely gotten a grip in the US market at least in terms of visibility and recognition. I see lots of kids with PSG gear even though they may not follow the team closely.
What about fans ? They will have to travel from France to USA to watch their own team in a regular season ? This is stupid
what is the “regular season” in football? Surely it’s just the season
I don’t see the benefit. In the first place, Ligue 1 isn’t even really available to American viewers on TV, as Bein holds the rights and is hidden on Premium Sports TV packages that few soccer fans get these days since everything else is easier to find.
The Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A, and a few other major European leagues are far more accessible to viewers in the United States, so Ligue 1 is at a major disadvantage.
They’re just trying to make Jacksonville the London team it seems. Germany gets good matches like Chiefs vs Dolphins, the best AFC teams currently and with two of the biggest stars in Mahomes and Hill
To be fair the English market would be great for the NFL to have a team in. Bonus point that the stadium is already built so it works out.
As if they won’t buy other massive names.
Dembele is not a big enough name to get people to watch
