While the vibes around Club León have not been great over the past week, that apparently hasn’t dampened interest in Thursday’s Concacaf Champions League match. Despite León facing a 3-0 deficit and coming off a Liga MX performance so bad that manager Ariel Holan offered his resignation, the game against the Sounders appears to be a sellout.
León have traditionally been a well-supported team and play in one of the more iconic stadiums in Liga MX that fits about 32,000 fans when it’s at full capacity. But, like much of the world, attendance has seen a dip since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic two years ago.
