Following England's victory at Euro 2022, attendances in the Women's Super League are up 200 per cent in a record-breaking season. The director of the women's professional game Kelly Simmons has praised a record-breaking first half of the season ahead of the weekend's final round of fixtures prior to the winter break.
“Coming into the 2022/23 season, we knew that we had an extraordinary opportunity to introduce the Barclays Women’s Super League and the Barclays Women’s Championship to new audiences. The Lionesses’ victory propelled the women’s game in this country to new levels, and it was important for us to capture and capitalise on that momentum.
“It has often been said that a successful women’s England team will help generate interest in the domestic game. This is certainly true, and I have been really overwhelmed by the response we have seen from fans – new and old – in the first half of the season.
