2022-23 Barclays Women's Super League: new attendance record during Arsenal - Tottenham (Matchday 3)

Arsenal FC - Tottenham Hotspur FC (4-0) on Matchday 3 of the 2022-23 Barclays Women's Super League drew 47,367 spectators at the Emirates Stadium (60,704 capacity), on Saturday 24/09/2022. This figure represents a record attendance in the English women's football league.

The previous record - 38,262 spectators - was set on 17/11/2019 when the same two teams met at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (62,850 capacity).

"After a stunning summer that saw packed out stadiums to watch the Lionesses (nickname for the England national team players, European champions on home soil on 31/07/2022) during the UEFA Women's Euro, we were really confident that we'd see a new record attendance early on in this season's Barclays Women's Super League. The atmosphere at The Emirates was absolutely incredible, and seeing 47,367 fans in the stadium shows just how much the women's game has grown. I am delighted that we have seen such big interest in the league since the start of the season," said Kelly Simmons, director of women's professional game at The Football Association, after the game.
