Tickets for the UEFA Women’s Champions League Final are sold out for the first time since 2010

The European Football Association (UEFA) announced today, Tuesday, that the Barcelona-Wolfsburg match has become the first sold-out European Women’s Champions League final since the 2009-2010 season.

UEFA said it had put up for sale more than 34,100 tickets for the match at Eindhoven in the Netherlands on June 3.

This final will break the attendance record for a women’s football match in the Netherlands, which was recorded in 2019 when the Dutch national team played against its Australian counterpart in front of 30,640 spectators in the same stadium.

“This is the first time that a UEFA Women’s Champions League final has sold out, and it happened weeks before the match and it’s another sign that we’ve reached a new level,” said Nadine Kessler, UEFA’s director of women’s football.

Barcelona is playing the Women’s Champions League final for the third time in a row and the fourth in five seasons, and won the title in the 2020-2021 season. Wolfsburg won the title in the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 seasons.

Women’s football has witnessed a significant increase in fan interest and audience attendance in the recent period, as the FA Women’s Cup final last Sunday was attended by 77,390 fans, which is the highest number of fans in a women’s domestic match in England.

Last year, a record 91,648 fans attended a women’s match, the match in which Barcelona beat Wolfsburg in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals at the Camp Nou.
