The UEFA Women’s EURO 2025, currently underway in Switzerland, is shaping up to be a record-breaking edition on multiple fronts. With over 600,000 tickets sold before the tournament even began, the group stage alone attracted more than 461,000 fans, the highest attendance ever recorded at this stage in a Women’s EURO. Matches like Germany vs Denmark in Basel drew 34,165 spectators, setting a new record for women’s football in Switzerland.
On the pitch, the tournament has already seen over 100 goals scored, making it the highest-scoring Women’s EURO in history so far. The group stage produced 89 goals at an average of 3.7 per game, surpassing the 3.06 average of the 2022 edition. Teams like Spain and England delivered emphatic victories, with both nations featuring six different goal scorers in single matches, another tournament first. Spanish forward Esther González currently leads the scoring chart with four goals, while teammate Alexia Putellas has contributed three goals and four assists.
Defensively, Sweden’s Jennifer Falk has impressed with multiple clean sheets, and Germany’s Ann-Katrin Berger and Norway’s Guro Pettersen lead in saves with 14 each. Midfielders like Patricia Guijarro (Spain) and Lia Wälti (Switzerland) have excelled in ball recoveries and passing. Wales’ veteran Jess Fishlock also made history as the oldest goal scorer in the finals at 38 years and 176 days.
Off the field, the tournament has seen advancements in technology, including semi-automated offside systems and accessibility services for fans with disabilities, while broadcast engagement has skyrocketed, with UEFA’s media platforms seeing a 55% rise in user interaction compared to 2022. Financially, broadcasting revenues are approaching the $100 million mark. As the competition heads into the knockout stages, the momentum continues to build, with teams like Spain, England, Germany, and hosts Switzerland generating excitement among fans.
Although the tournament is still in progress, it is already being hailed as a landmark moment for women’s football in Europe — in terms of quality, popularity, and global reach.
