With the 2025 edition of UEFA Women’s EURO kicking off tomorrow 600,000 tickets have been sold, surpassing the previous record made in 2022.
The number of tickets snapped up before the finals in England began was around 500,000.
UEFA director for women’s football Nadine Kessler told uefa.com: “One of our key goals was to sell out the event. I remember how people laughed when we set this goal, but it’s now turning into a reality.
“We set this goal because, for us, it’s the most genuine sign of growth, and of sustainable development. Already, 22 matches (out of 31) are sold out, and 600,000 tickets overall – and that’s without an opening match at Old Trafford or a final at Wembley.”
With fans flocking to the tournament in Switzerland, Kessler revealed: “Already there are 61,000 Germans, 41,000 English, 16,000 French, 15,000 Dutch and 5,000 American fans
“I think we are at 114 nationalities and that’s exactly what we want – that’s unheard of in women’s football – and it shows we have taken the right lessons from England 2022 and are on the way to a record-breaking event.”
