Arsenal Women's team has been drawing impressive crowds this season, with their average attendance exceeding 35,000 fans per match. The recent North London Derby against Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates Stadium saw another sold-out crowd, bringing their total attendance for the season to over a quarter of a million supporters.
Playing five out of six Women's Super League matches at the 60,704-capacity Emirates Stadium, Arsenal has seen a significant increase in attendance compared to last season. Their average attendance of 35,006 marks a substantial rise from the 15,046 they averaged in the previous season.
Arsenal has broken attendance records multiple times this season, with three games surpassing the previous Women's Super League record crowd. The team's commitment to publishing attendance statistics based on tickets sold has highlighted their popularity, with only ten men's clubs in the country attracting larger crowds this season.
Despite the impressive numbers at Arsenal, attendance figures across the league vary significantly. Everton, for example, has been averaging just 1,280 fans per game at their 2,200-capacity stadium, with some matches drawing as few as 614 spectators.
Arsenal's head coach, Jonas Eidevall, attributes the team's high attendance figures to the strong sense of community and connection with the fans. He emphasizes the importance of clubs investing in creating a unique identity and culture to foster passion and loyalty among supporters.
Looking ahead, Arsenal's remaining league games will continue to attract sizable crowds, with an estimated average attendance of over 25,000 for the season. The team's success in engaging fans serves as a model for other clubs to build their own fan base and strengthen their connection with the community.
