The attendance at the Women's Euro final match between England and Germany on Sunday at Wembley Stadium in London set a new record for the number of spectators in the men's continental competition. The attendance for the final reached 87,192 fans, surpassing the previous record of 79,115 fans set during the men's final in 1964 in Spain, where the host country won the title against the Soviet Union (2-1). England claimed the title for the first time in its history with a 2-1 victory after extra time. Ella Toone (62) and Chloe Kelly (110) scored for England, while Lena Magull (79) scored for Germany, which has won the title eight times.
The opening match between England and Austria (1-0) at Old Trafford, which had an attendance of 68,871 fans, broke the previous record for the number of spectators in a Women's Euro match (41,000). The previous attendance record for an England match was 77,768 fans, also at Wembley, against Germany in a friendly match in 2019, which England lost 1-2.
The absolute record for the attendance at a women's football match was broken twice last spring by Barcelona at their Camp Nou stadium, the only venue in Europe with a larger capacity than Wembley. On April 23, 91,648 fans attended the Women's Champions League semi-final between Barcelona and German club Wolfsburg, where ticket prices ranged from 2.5 euros for club members to between 9 and 15 euros for others. For the Euro final, tickets were priced between 15 and 99 euros. The total attendance for the current edition of the Euro was 574,875, breaking the previous best for the women's continental competition, which was achieved five years ago in the Netherlands with 247,041 attendees.
