UEFA expecting biggest final attendance at Women's Euros

Almost half-a-million people have attended matches at this year's Women's European Championship.

Ahead of Sunday's final between hosts

England

and

Germany,

UEFA has announced more than twice as many fans have attended

this year's Women's Euros

than the previous tournament in 2017.

A total of 240,055 people attended matches at Euro 2017 in the Netherlands but a total of 487,683 people attended matches at this year’s Euro before the final.

UEFA stated on Thursday:

"Nearly 100,000 children have been part of that record-breaking attendance, while 47 percent of all fans in the stadiums have been female, with a similar fan demographic anticipated for the final.

"The tournament has been marked by crowds enjoying this family-friendly atmosphere, and the same buzz and excitement can be expected for the final between England and Germany on Sunday, which is set to establish another major benchmark.”

Wembley stadium is sold out for the final between England and Germany which is set to break the attendance record for a match at a men's or women's Euros.

The current record of 79,115 was for the men's final in 1964 between hosts Spain and the Soviet Union at the Santiago Bernabeu. The current highest attendance record for a Women's Euros match in history is between England and Austria in the Euro 2022 group stage at Old Trafford with 68,871 watching.
