With 91,553 football fans in attendance to witness the electric UEFA Women’s Champions League quarterfinal match between Barcelona and Real Madrid inside Camp Nou tonight, the world record for a professional women’s football match has officially been smashed.
Barcelona’s 5-2 domination over Real Madrid was streamed live on DAZN and DAZN’s dedicated UEFA Women’s Champions League YouTube channel.
Simultaneously, two other records have been broken this evening, with El Clásico also marking the largest crowd ever for a domestic women’s football match and the biggest attendance ever in the history of the UEFA Women’s Champions League.
(The previous attendance records were as follows: 90,185 at the 1999 World Cup final between USA and China, 60,739 fans for a 2019 domestic women's club at Atlético Madrid's Metropolitano Stadium against Barcelona, and 50,212 at the 2012 UEFA Women’s Champions League final between Lyon and Frankfurt.)
“Many girls will dream of playing on such a special stage. It could be a before and after moment in the world of women’s football.”
