Chelsea boss Emma Hayes insists selling out Wembley is the ‘new norm’ for women’s football, with her side set to play in front of 90,000 fans in Sunday's FA Cup final against Manchester United.
The attendance will break the previous record of 49,094 which was set in last year’s final when the Blues beat Manchester City 3-2 after extra-time.
Hayes, who has visited Wembley six times as a manager, said the women’s game has now reached the point where a sold-out Cup final is ‘no longer a pipedream.’
‘For me as a women’s football fan it means everything,’ Hayes said.
