England women’s manager Phil Neville believes there is support for women’s football in England on a consistent basis and has called on the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea to follow suit to build momentum ahead of the women’s World Cup in France this summer.
England women’s manager Phil Neville has urged the Premier League’s biggest clubs to “blow the rest of Europe away” by opening their grounds to host women’s matches in the manner Atletico Madrid and Juventus have in recent weeks.
Just short of 40 000 fans also set an Italian record for Juventus’ 1-0 win over Fiorentina in March, attendances bolstered by free or cheap tickets.Neville believes there is even more support for the women’s game in England on a consistent basis and called on the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea to follow suit to build momentum ahead of the women’s World Cup in France this summer.
“Let’s blow the rest of Europe away because I think our game in this country is in a far better place than in Spain, Italy or Portugal.” “Get 30 or 40 000 in. Our players, the WSL is at the level now where clubs have got to open their stadiums.That’s my feelings having watched Bilbao, Juventus. They’ve done it but let us do it two or three times between now and the rest of the season.”
