Record to be broken as Arsenal confirm first ever Emirates WSL sellout | OneFootball

Arsenal Women have confirmed that Saturday's clash with Manchester United Women will be the first-ever sold out Women's Super League game at the Emirates Stadium.

The stadium, which has a capacity of 60,704, had 60,063 in attendance for last season's Women's Champions League semi-final with Wolfsburg, but this is a first for domestic competition.

It also means the WSL attendance record will be broken. The previous record was 59,042 for the Gunners' clash with defending champions and current league leaders, Chelsea, prior to Christmas.

Arsenal are sat in third place in the league this campaign, six points behind the Blues, and are four points clear of fourth-placed United.

The sell-out is just the latest positive news for the women's game in the country, following on from the England team's World Cup final appearance and Mary Earps' winning of the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award.
