Can you guess what color was prominent at Kansas City Stadium for Thursday’s Holland-Tunisia World Cup game?
There was no doubt it was going to be orange at Kansas City Stadium (aka Arrowhead). The “Orange Walk” through downtown Kansas City earlier Thursday gave everyone a clue about the support the Netherlands has here. But it was a bit muted, as many fans wore clear ponchos over their orange shirts.
Storms threatened and rain fell, but the Chiefs’ home was nearly full for Holland’s Group F match against Tunisia. Shortly before kickoff, tickets on the secondary market were not available.
Among those in attendance were Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, KC Current co-owner Brittany Mahomes.
The final attendance number fell just shy of a sellout at 68,391.
It was an enthusiastic crowd before the game as the fans shouted out the 10-second countdown.
The festive atmosphere and packed house continued Kansas City’s tremendous showing at the 2026 World Cup.
A sellout crowd of 69,045 — the capacity set by FIFA for World Cup games at Arrowhead — saw Argentina roll over Algeria 3-0 last week. Most of that was Argentina’s blue-and-white.
When Curaçao held Ecuador to a scoreless draw, it wasn’t quite a complete sellout, but the attendance was still strong at 68,598. The vast majority that day was dressed in Ecuador’s canary yellow.
The stadium wasn’t completely full of Netherlands fans on Thursday evening. Tunisia, which entered the match having already been eliminated from any chance of advancing to the knockout stage, had pockets of fans wearing red and white.
