The Women\u2019s FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium yesterday (Sunday) welcomed a record-breaking crowd of 77,390.<\/p>\n
Chelsea lifted the FA Cup trophy after securing a 1-0 win against Women\u2019s Super League (WSL) rivals Manchester United, thanks to a 68th minute goal from Sam Kerr.<\/p>\n
The figure smashed last year\u2019s final attendance record of 49,094 and tickets sold out well in advance of the game.<\/p>\n
Wembley also witnessed a new record for the largest crowd to watch a women\u2019s domestic club fixture anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n
Baroness Sue Campbell, Football Association (FA) director of women\u2019s football, said<\/a>: \u201cTo break the world record is a massive statement and a wonderful marker as to where the women\u2019s game has come in this country.<\/p>\n \u201cA lot of credit goes to all of the players and the clubs in the Barclays Women\u2019s Super League, the Barclays Women\u2019s Championship and below that, but also credit to everybody that\u2019s worked at the FA to make sure this is a reality.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve said before that we\u2019ve come a long way, but we\u2019ve still got an incredibly long way to go and we know that. But it\u2019s another marker in the sand that the game in this country is now alive and well, flourishing and growing.\u201d<\/p>\n
