Worcester City Women hope Euros win boosts crowds

Worcester City Women's CEO said the last trophy won by the Lionesses created "huge momentum"

The CEO of Worcester City Women has said England's Euro 2025 triumph could be a "great opportunity" for the club to grow its fanbase.

Nicole Allison said the Lionesses success at Euro 2022, and even their appearance in the 2023 World Cup final, created "huge momentum".

She said the country's latest trophy could lead to "an increase in participation but also attendance".

"We certainly hope at Worcester City Women we get more fans coming to support us at Sixways, and supporting us in the Women's National League," she said.

She added: "To win it again this year just gives us a huge opportunity to continue to grow the sport.

"I think it puts it in the light it deserves, where we're not comparing the women's football to men's football because actually they should be respected and enjoyed in their separate entities and that's really important."

It was announced in 2023 that Worcester City Women would be moving into the home of Worcester Warriors with the 2025/26 season set to be their third at the stadium.

Worcester City Women begin their campaign away at Barnsley on 17 August before their first home game against Sutton Coldfield Town on 24 August.
