All tickets sold: Urawa Reds vs AC Milan officially a sell out
Thursday, 13 December 07, 12:59 AM · Comments(0)
As expected, all tickets have been sold for clash between Urawa Reds and AC Milan at the 72,327 capacity Yokohama International Stadium.
It's a cold, grey afternoon in Yokohama but that won't stop fans from turning out in their tens of thousands to witness this highly anticipated clash.
Yokohama International Stadium - otherwise known as Nissan Stadium on non-FIFA matchdays, is the home of Yokohama F. Marinos and saw its largest crowd of the last J-League season when 53,916 fans turned out to witness Yokohama F. Marinos smash cross-town rivals Yokohama FC 8-1.
The stadium was the venue for the 2002 FIFA World Cup Final, which saw Brazil beat Germany 2-0 thanks to a brace from Ronaldo. Whilst the stadium no doubt holds fond memories for O Fenômeno, he will take no part in the 2007 FIFA Club World Cup after coach Carlo Ancelotti revealed that the Brazilian striker's calf injury would not heal in time for him to take part in Sunday's final.
