The FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ has reached a major milestone, with total attendance surpassing one million during the match between Juventus FC and Wydad AC at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field.
The historic distinction of being the tournament’s one millionth fan went to Rachida Elomari, a nine-year-old Wydad AC supporter from Virginia, USA. It was her very first time attending a football match in a stadium—an experience she had been eagerly anticipating since Wydad qualified for the expanded 32-team competition.
“I’m here in Philadelphia because my parents told me two years ago that Wydad was going to play in the US,” Rachida said. “I was really excited because I wanted to see my team play, and this was my first time ever going to a stadium. I want to support my team with all my might!”
For Rachida, the tournament has meant more than just football—it was a rare chance to connect with her favorite team without having to travel across continents. “The FIFA Club World Cup gives families like ours a chance to see Wydad live, without spending thousands of dollars flying to another country,” she explained. “I’ve watched World Cups on TV, but seeing this in real life is such a great opportunity—with the greatest teams in the world, in my opinion.”
An aspiring footballer herself, Rachida also shared her love for the game: “It’s one of the most popular sports in my country. It’s really fun, keeps us healthy, and away from trouble.”
