Wales Women's ticket sales record has been broken more than a month before their next home match amid an explosion of interest in women's football.
The existing attendance record for a women's international football match in Wales currently stands at 5,455, but the Football Association of Wales says sales have now surpassed that figure ahead of Gemma Grainger's team facing Slovenia in a crucial World Cup qualifier at Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday, September 6 (7.45pm kick-off). Wales Women are bidding to reach their first major tournament and are on course to secure a play-off spot, but the last match of their campaign could become a winner-takes-all affair.
The FAW is aiming to attract at least 10,000 fans to the qualifier, with the surge in ticket sales coming on the back of a record-breaking Women's Euro 2022 which has seen interest in women's football surge amid England's triumph.
