Wembley (United Kingdom) (AFP) – England’s Euro 2022 final against Germany at Wembley set a new record of 87,192 for the highest attended match at either a men’s or women’s European Championship on Sunday.
Attendances across the tournament in England have more than doubled compared to the last women’s European Championship five years ago.
The Lionesses 1-0 win over Austria to open the tournament in front of 69,000 at Old Trafford smashed the previous record for a women’s Euro match of 41,000.
The highest attendance at a men’s European Championship match was the 79,115 who watched Spain beat the Soviet Union in the 1964 final.

London (AFP) – Kateryna Monzul will referee the Women’s Euro 2022 final between England and Germany at Wembley on Sunday, European football governing UEFA has announced.
The 41-year-old Ukrainian is the first referee from her country to take charge of a Women’s Euro final.
An experienced official, Monzul was also the first women to referee an England men’s game when she oversaw their World Cup qualifier against Andorra in October 2021.&nbsp;
Prior to that, she had already made history as the first female referee for matches in the Ukraine men’s Premier League in 2016.
Monzul has also officiated at three Women’s World Cups including being the referee for the 2015 final when the United States beat Japan 5-2, as well as men’s matches in the Europa League and Europa Conference League and the Nations League.

Berlin (AFP) – Bayern Munich women’s team have been hit by seven Covid cases in their squad ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League quarter-final second leg at Paris Saint-Germain.
The Germans lost the first leg 2-1 at the Allianz Arena last Tuesday when PSG striker Marie-Antoinette Katoto scored twice.
“It’s a catastrophe that the virus is hitting us like this, especially in the decisive weeks,” said Bayern head coach Jens Scheuer.
Germany defender Maximiliane Rall was confirmed Tuesday as the seventh member of Bayern’s squad to test positive.
Linda Dallmann, Jovana Damnjanovic, Karolina Vilhjalmsdottir, Carina Wenninger, Sarah Zadrazil and Franziska Kett were all confirmed as positive cases on Sunday before a 4-0 league win against Essen.
Attacking midfielder Viviane Asseyi is suspended, meaning Bayern could have just two outfield players on the bench at the Parc des Princes.
Scheuer says rescheduling the match is not an option as “UEFA says we have to play”.
According to the regulations, 13 players including at least one goalkeeper must be available.
Bayern midfielder Giulia Gwinn says the dire situation could gel the team.
“Something like this can release new energy,” she said.
“We definitely want to make it to the semi-finals. We will try to give it out all — even for those sitting at home.”
Bayern are away again on Sunday at women’s Bundesliga leaders VfL Wolfsburg, who host Arsenal Thursday in their Champions League quarter-final after a 1-1 draw in the first leg.
