The France v Belgium game at Rotherham helped take Euro 2022 to record crowd levels
Euro 2022 has broken the record for the total attendance at a European Women's Championship - despite still being in the group stage.
Euro 2017 in the Netherlands was attended by a total of 240,055 supporters, the record until now.
But the 8,173 who watched France beat Belgium 2-1 in Rotherham took these Euros to a total of 248,075 fans.
There are still 15 games remaining - including a likely record crowd for the Wembley final.
England's 1-0 win over Austria in the tournament opener was watched by a record 68,871 at Old Trafford, 27,570 clear of the previous landmark when Germany beat Norway in the 2013 final in Solna, Sweden.
The 28,847 who watched England beat Norway 8-0 in Brighton ranks fourth.
There was also a record set for a group game not involving the hosts when 21,342 watched the Netherlands and Sweden draw 1-1 in Sheffield.
The average crowd across the 16 games so far is 15,505.
