Women of Bayern Shatter Previous Attendance Record - Women's soccer players from Bayern set new record
In a historic moment for German football, FC Bayern Munich's women's team broke the record for the highest attendance at a Women's Bundesliga home game. The record-breaking event took place during the opening match of the Bundesliga season against Bayer 04 Leverkusen at the Allianz Arena.
The previous record, which was 38,365 spectators, had been held by 1. FC KΓΆln against Eintracht Frankfurt at the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg. However, on this remarkable day, a staggering 57,762 spectators filled the Allianz Arena, smashing the previous record.
The double winners announced the record-breaking attendance during the match, creating an electric atmosphere that was palpable even beyond the stadium's walls. The opposing team, Bayer Leverkusen, were no doubt inspired by the sea of supporters, although the final result of the match remained unspecified.
It's worth noting that the DFB-Pokal, a renowned German football cup competition, was not the setting for this record. Instead, it was set in the thrilling environment of the Bundesliga.
Interestingly, a record of 57,000 had been set just a few months prior, in March 2023, at the DFB-Pokal semi-final between HSV and Werder Bremen. Yet, FC Bayern Munich's women's team managed to surpass this number, setting a new attendance record for a women's football match in Germany.
This achievement is a testament to the growing popularity of women's football in Germany and the incredible support that FC Bayern Munich continues to garner. The record-breaking attendance at the Allianz Arena is a beacon of hope for the future of women's football in Germany and beyond.
