Copa América Losing Appeal as Fans Stay Away Due to High Costs

The Copa América, the premier international soccer tournament for South American nations, is facing a new challenge: dwindling fan attendance. The tournament, which is currently being held in the United States, has seen significantly lower attendance figures than in previous years, with many fans citing the high cost of tickets as the primary reason for their absence.

In a recent poll conducted by the Chilean newspaper El Mercurio, 62% of respondents said that they would not be attending any Copa América matches due to the high ticket prices. The poll also found that 35% of respondents said that they were not interested in the tournament at all, citing a lack of excitement and poor quality of play.

The lack of fan attendance at the Copa América is a major concern for tournament organizers, who rely on ticket sales for a significant portion of their revenue. The tournament is also a prestigious event for South American nations, and the lack of fan support could damage the tournament's reputation.
