Unique and friendly atmosphere of women’s football praised as fans celebrate England’s semi-final win
achel Gould and her friends have been watching women’s football together for five years, including travelling abroad to watch England in the 2019 World Cup. But they always found that in pubs across the UK, the atmosphere had “never been as exciting as we thought it could be”.
Charlotte Thompson, the head of women’s football at the media firm Copa90, was thrilled that she had worn her Beth Mead shirt: “For her to score was amazing.” Lewis said the match was the “best atmosphere I’ve ever experienced at a football match”, with “an amazing result”. She is nervous about Sunday’s final but conceded: “Sweden were a hard team and we tore them apart in that second half.
“You can feel that momentum is getting behind the team, people are getting more and more excited,” he said before the match.Thousands of spectators gathered across the UK on Tuesday night at official fan zones in host cities, including in Trafalgar Square in London, and packed out pubs and community centres to watch the biggest women’s sporting event in European history.
“It’s very different to men’s football. The rivalry is different because for us it’s a celebration, we appreciate all the other teams and skills and players, that’s the joy of it for us,” said Gould.
