Attendance and ticket sales setting new records at Women’s World Cup

Soccer’s international governing body (FIFA), said Tuesday that 1.77 million tickets have been sold for the Women’s World Cup, being co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand, with a total 1,734,028 attendance for the 60 games.

The record match attendance for the 2023 edition is 75,784 for three games under a restricted capacity at Sydney’s Stadium Australia, which was built for the 2000 Olympics.

FIFA said the average crowd for games across the 10 venues has been 28,900, more than 7,000 above the average for games at the 2019 edition in France and more than 4,000 above the historical average at the eight previous Women’s World Cups.
