Last season saw the inaugural Women’s Football Weekend take place with over 75,000 fans attending matches across the top two divisions of the women’s game. The Barclays FA Women’s Super League’s attendance record was smashed as 38,262 fans attended the North London derby between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This season’s Women’s Football Weekend will take place behind-closed-doors but it is hoped that fans will watch matches at home in their thousands.
Further announcements on Women’s Football Weekend arrangements are expected to be made in the lead up to the event.
