A women’s football attendance record has been broken at Sheffield United’s Bramall Lane stadium for the second time in a week.

A total of 22,596 fans watched the Netherlands beat Switzerland 4-1 in the UEFA Women's EURO 2022 tournament on Sunday, July 17 to set up an eagerly anticipated quarter-final with France.

That’s the record for a UEFA Women's EURO group-stage crowd not involving a host nation.

It is the third time the previous record has been bettered this tournament, with 16,819 fans watching Spain-Finland and 21,342 spectators taking to the stands for the Netherlands-Sweden match at Bramall Lane.

Bramall Lane is set to host the first semi-final on Tuesday, July 26, which could feature England if the hosts, who have been hugely impressive so far, make it past Spain in the quarter-finals this Wednesday.

Ahead of Sunday’s match, fans had gathered in the fan zone at Devonshire Green, where there was a great atmosphere as they warmed up by belting out songs.
