I’m sure Jake (24, Minesotta) is absolutely buzzing to attend a Clermont-Reims
That’s Clermont FOOT, to be precise!
Swear Spain and France will do anything to fast track their way to money instead of investing in the rest of the clubs in their league and marketing it properly. Instead they just suck off the 3 clubs they care about who already have all the money.
Great idea 🤡
At least away supporters will be allowed to attend the games.
Modern day football in a nutshell.
Regular season? As opposed to….?
Outside of psg games noone in usa will care
Hope they get Clermont foot Vs le harve
ligue 1 mcdonald’s league
That’s a wild extrapolation of a random executive saying they have to bring “games that matter” to the US in an empty sales pitch to attract US broadcasters to buy Ligue 1 rights.
If anything, that sounds a lot more like the Supercup trophy, that is already played abroad anyway.
No way fans let this happen.
Ez, bring back the Coupe Drago and have it played in exotics places, during the CdF games.
Or create like a Coupe des Clubs Champions (de l1) where you have the past winners play where there used to be 4 more matchdays, like either you start L1 in September/last W-E of August and have that in the US (it’s 4 matchs) or just before/after international breaks (not the entire competition at once in that case)
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).
Ligue 1 still chasing the lost revenue from its deal with mediapro that went sour. Was a record deal and they had all planned for it accordingly, and going from 20 to 18 teams was an attempt to fix their finances. It’s still on its way back but this isn’t the way
Modern football is a circus
If its in Montreal then u could say both PSG and Marseille would be able to draw in a large crowd probably
I don’t think it would go that well, PSG’s really the only French team that could draw a half decent crowd in the US, otherwise you’re probably looking at Mazatlan-Juarez repeats.

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.
