On April 20th, it was announced that North Carolina’s Kenan Stadium would host Chelsea vs. Wrexham on July 19th as a part of the 2023 FC Series. However, after four days of being on public sale, the event has been sold out, according to Unified Events.
The special stateside meeting between these two clubs is the first time they will play on a neutral site. In a press release, Molly Pendleton, the Head of Touring Business and Operations for Unified Events, gave her input on the early sell-out.
“As a North Carolina native and Tar Heel grad, I cannot wait to see Kenan Stadium packed with Chelsea and Wrexham fans this July.”
In the same press release, Florida Citrus Sports CEO Steve Hogan explained why he was not shocked about ticket sales.
“It is no surprise that the pairing of global football and one of American college football’s great venues is a hot ticket,” said Hogan. “This a must-see match on the summer soccer calendar in America.”
