Women’s football has witnessed major changes across Europe over the past 14 months, as stadiums sell out and attendance levels continue to grow.
A major breakthrough happened on Sunday 14th May, as a world record was set for a women’s domestic match, after 77,390 fans watched Chelsea beat Man Untied in the FA Cup Final. This extraordinary figure topped last year’s attendance of 49,094 by a significant margin. The overwhelming response and support demonstrated the growing popularity and enthusiasm surrounding women’s football, highlighting the remarkable progress and increase recognition.
With a track record of constant success, the Lionesses are heading Down Under in their relentless pursuit of World Cup glory. England’s team stands as a formidable contender with a high chance of winning the tournament. However, it’s important to acknowledge that they have encountered a few injuries along the way, which may pose challenges to their campaign. Having reached the semi-finals in each of the previous World Cups, the Lionesses have proven themselves as a force to be reckoned with on a global stage. Their past performances have created a sense of anticipation and excitement among fans, eager to witness their journey unfold once again.
