2019 Women's World Cup: TV audiences, attendance, atmosphere... a success "beyond expectations"

"This World Cup in France has been phenomenal, moving, passionate, fantastic... The best Women's World Cup of all time. It is thanks to the French organization that this World Cup has become what it is, the best in the world," said Gianni Infantino, FIFA president, in Lyon (FRA) on 05/07/2019, ahead of the final of the tournament, USA - the Netherlands (2-0), at Groupama Stadium in Lyon on 07/07/2019.

TV audiences, attendance, atmosphere, all the indicators reflect a successful tournament, a success whose extent has surprised the broadcasters and the organizers themselves. "France has kept its promise to organize 'the biggest Women's World Cup in history'," said FIFA on 08/07/2019.

"We had the will to organize a popular, familial, festive, and accessible World Cup to the greatest number of people, that would celebrate this event throughout the country. From this point of view, it is a success, perhaps even beyond our expectations," stated Brigitte Henriques, vice-president of the FFF and vice-president of the local organizing committee, to News Tank Football on 10/07/2019.
