Women's football crowds boom following Euro 2022 with WSL attendances up 200 per cent

Attendances in the Women’s Super League are up 200 per cent from last year on the back of a memorable Euro 2022.

The Lionesses lifted the European Championship at Wembley last summer in one of the sporting moments of the year and it has led to more fans than ever before flocking to the domestic game. The WSL, the top division in the women's football pyramid has seen attendances skyrocket with a new generation of supporters wanting to see Leah Williamson, Chloe Kelly, Beth Mead and England's other summer heroes in action, as well as international stars such as Sam Kerr, Ona Batlle and Vivianne Miedema.

Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea have all played at their larger men's team stadiums this season to huge crowds. But the boom goes beyond the traditionally larger clubs, with attendances also up 85 per cent in England's second tier Women's Championship.
