SheBelieves Cup ticket sales approach record marks

Ticket sales for the SheBelieves Cup in Atlanta on April 6 are trending toward “making it one of the best-attended U.S. women’s matches in history,” according to Doug Roberson of the ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION. The U.S. Soccer Federation earlier this week opened the upper deck of Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which will host the matches between U.S. and Japan and Canada and Brazil, to “satisfy ticket demand.” Officials estimate “at least 40,000 tickets will be sold,” which would “come close to breaking a record for a U.S. women’s match that’s not part of the World Cup or Olympics.” The most tickets sold and distributed in the history of the U.S. women’s soccer team for a non-Olympic, non-World Cup match is 49,504, set Aug. 29, 2019, for a match against Portugal in Philadelphia. The second-highest was 44,028 on Aug 16, 2015, for a match against Costa Rica in Pittsburgh (ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION, 3/20).
