Canada Coach Jesse Marsch Understands Why some Fans May Not Want to Travel to US for Gold Cup
- Canada coach Jesse Marsch noted that some fans might be reluctant to attend the CONCACAF Gold Cup in the U.S. Due to concerns about potential complications at the American border.
- This concern arises amid reports of tourists being detained or delayed at U.S. Border crossings since President Donald Trump's second term began in January.
- The Gold Cup runs from June 14 to July 6 across 14 venues, all but one in the U.S., with Canada playing matches in Vancouver and Houston, while Marsch faces a two-game suspension.
- During a Zoom news conference, Marsch acknowledged that the present political situation in the U.S. Might make some people hesitant to visit, but he remains hopeful the team will receive strong fan support despite these challenges.
- Canadian travel data shows a 20% drop in U.S. Air returns and 35% decrease by car in April, suggesting political tensions may affect fan attendance and support at the tournament.
