Ep #469: Holy airball: Half-empty stadiums at the FIFA Club World Cup

The GIST of It

Wait, what’s happening right now?
It’s the FIFA Club World Cup. The first-of-its-kind tournament could have been a smashing success, especially in the lead up to next year’s World Cup hosted in North America — but with empty seats making headlines, it’s been anything but. On today’s episode of The GIST of It, co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz explain what the tournament is before investigating why it’s a flub and what that might mean for next year’s FIFA World Cup.
