Barcelona and Real Madrid set a new world record for a women’s match with 91,553 supporters in attendance for the second leg of Wednesday’s Champions League quarterfinal at Camp Nou.
The attendance number broke the previous record for a women’s game, which was set in 1999 when 90,185 fans descended upon the Rose Bowl to watch the World Cup final between the United States and China.
Some accounts suggest that 110,000 people attended Denmark’s win over Mexico at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City at in the 1971 World Cup final. However, that tournament was not officially sanctioned.
