Manager Phil Neville says side needs to use posssible sellout to inspire youngsters
The projected record-breaking attendance for a women’s football match in Britain should inspire fans to come regularly and encourage girls to believe they can play at international level, the
England manager Phil Neville said on Friday.
More than 86,500 tickets have been sold for England’s showpiece friendly against
Germany at Wembley on Saturday, close to the stadium’s 90,000 capacity. The attendance could beat the 80,203 who watched the 2012 women’s Olympic final at Wembley between
USA and Japan. At the same tournament 70,584 watched Team GB beat Brazil and in 2014 another 45,619 came to watch England lose 3-0 to Germany.
