Which clubs do Lionesses play for and how much are tickets for Women's Super League?

England’s Lioness heroes defeated old foe Germany in front of a packed crowd at Wembley on Sunday to win the Women’s Euros.

The demand for final tickets was so high that some were reportedly shelling out as much as £1,000 for a single seat to witness the clash.

Chloe Kelly ’s extra-time winning goal sent the 87,192 spectators - a record for the European championships - into rapture as England’s women snared their first major trophy.

But the stars of the team could start next season playing in front of much sparser crowds, with the Barclays Women’s Super League (WSL) attracting 2,000 fans per game on average.

The majority of Sunday’s winners play in the domestic league, meaning it is possible to see them in action week-in, week-out - and often for a small fraction of the price of going to Wembley.

What the Lionesses have said about the game’s popularity

Super sub Ella Toone, who scored a remarkable chip to put England 1-0 up in Sunday’s second half, plays regularly with fellow tournament game-changer Alessia Russo for Manchester United.

Even after making history, she had one eye on advancing the women’s game at club level following its growing international popularity.

The 22-year-old said: “I think a lot of people have fallen in love with women’s football this summer. That’s what we set out to do.

“So hopefully the crowds that we’ve had this summer we can get into our grounds at club level and some more fans at the stadium to be on the journey with us.”

The WSL season kicks-off on Saturday September 10 at 12.30pm, with Tottenham taking on Toone's Manchester United.

Chelsea's title defence will be broadcast live on BBC as the champions take on West Ham at 12.30pm on Sunday September 11.

The matches have also had their stadiums upgraded to accommodate more fans in the aftermath of the Euros buzz.

The Blues usually play at Kingsmeadow in Kingston-upon-Thames, but manager Emma Hayes' side will be at Stamford Bridge for the game against the Hammers.

Similarly, the Tottenham Hotspur stadium will be the venue for Spurs against Man United, while Liverpool have announced that the Merseyside derby against Everton on Sunday September 25 will be at Anfield.

How much do WSL games cost?

Face-value tickets for the Euros Wembley final started at £15 but rose to a hefty £50 for the premium seats.

Luckily, cheering on the girls at club level costs a lot less, making it a more affordable regular habit.

To watch WSL champions Chelsea, adults pay only £9 and children get in for just a quid.

Runners-up Arsenal charge £12 for adults and £6 for kids.

Brighton charge just a mere £4 to watch their women’s side, with children going half price.

Manchester City fans can watch their team for £10, while Leicester City charge £7 for adults and Everton £8.

Football commentator Jacqui Oatley tweeted after the final: “Everything is so expensive at the moment - except elite women’s football ticket prices.

“Come and see what all the fuss is about.”
