Crowd of 77,390 smashes previous record of 60,739 for Women’s FA Cup
A world record crowd of 77,390 watched Chelsea beat Manchester United 1-0 in the Women’s FA Cup final at Wembley on Sunday.
The sold-out final smashed the previous record attendance for a women’s domestic club match, when Atletico Madrid hosted Barcelona in front of 60,739 people in 2019. “It’s one piece of the jigsaw. I want more, this isn’t enough,” Chelsea midfielder Erin Cuthbert said. “We want to go for the league now. We can only control the controllables.”
“We switch off in one moment, there’s space to Sam [Kerr] to run in to which we haven’t given her all game,” United manager Marc Skinner said. “I’m proud of the girls today, they are hungry. [Chelsea’s] position is what we want to take. We are a young, hungry team. I need to find the pieces to make sure we challenge all the time.
