The women’s Euros are selling out stadiums

It was just the sort of start a host nation hopes for. On July 6th the opening game of the 2022 European Women’s Football Championship saw England beat Austria 1-0. Blowout victories against Norway (8-0) and Northern Ireland (5-0) propelled the team into the tournament’s knockout stages. A harder-fought 2-1 win over Spain put them through to the semi-finals.
