Goalscoring hero Ella Toone called on crowds to flock to domestic women’s football like never before off the back of England’s historic Euro 2022 triumph.
A crowd of 87,192 at Wembley – a Euros record for the men’s or women’s competitions – witnessed the Lionesses defeat Germany 2-1 after extra-time to win their first major tournament.
It was a competition where attendance records tumbled, with the 574,865 people who came through the turnstiles across the 31 games being more than double than the previous high – 247,041 in the Netherlands in 2017.
