“With this in mind, we recently launched our bid to host the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027, together with Germany and Belgium.” “During – and in the years since – UEFA Women’s EURO 2017, which was also hosted here, we have seen what a major football event can bring to our country. “By bringing matches like this to our country, we hope to inspire girls and women to become even more involved in football – to become a player, a coach, a board member, a referee or a fan. And it’s even more wonderful that we will become the first sold-out final in history. Gijs de Jong, Secretary-General of the KNVB, added: “We have wanted to host the UEFA Women’s Champions League final in the Netherlands for quite some time, so it’s great to see it happen now. It’s going to be an amazing occasion for everyone, whether in the stadium or in front of the TV.” “In addition, we can expect fans from both teams to have also acquired tickets through the general sale. Each team has picked up an allocation of more than 4,500 for their own supporters – far more than ever before.
“The amount of fans who wish to travel with their team has risen enormously, too.
“And that’s a few weeks in advance, which is just another sign that we have reached a new level. “This is the first time we have fully sold out a Women’s Champions League final,” Nadine Kessler, UEFA managing director of women’s football, said. It has been a hugely positive year for women’s football with UEFA revealing that average crowds from the last-16 stage onwards are at an all-time high of 10,800, while five of the competition’s all-time top 10 attendances have been recorded this season.
