Manchester has been named among the top 10 cities in England with a surge in demand for women’s football, with Northern cities in particular experiencing a spike in demand over their southern counterparts.
The data arrives from a study conducted by Footy Accumulators, in which year-on-year search increases for ‘women's football’ in 12 of the largest cities in England by population were analysed following the riveting success of the Euro 2022 tournament last summer.
And since the Lionesses’ triumph at Wembley last July, it has been revealed that Manchester experienced an 86% increase, identical with Liverpool, which sees the duo rank sixth out of 12 for cities analysed in the study.
