The new Club World Cup organized by FIFA has been held across the Atlantic for the past few weeks, and several Premier League teams, including Manchester United, are scheduled to make their way over for pre-season preparations soon.
Next summer, the US will host the FIFA World Cup, partnering with Canada and Mexico, marking the tournament’s return to American soil for the first time since 1994.
In the years since, football, or ‘soccer,’ has seen a remarkable surge in popularity, thanks in part to the establishment of MLS and high-profile transfers involving stars like David Beckham and Lionel Messi, which have significantly heightened interest in the sport.
However, it was in 2014 that Manchester United, in collaboration with Real Madrid, etched a significant chapter in American football history that remains relevant today.
