Specifically for the 2023 Women’s World Cup, the record for the most attendance at the stadium was presented in the opening match between Australia against the Republic of Ireland and the final match between Spain and England at Australia Stadium. Both matches were watched by 75,784 fans, which is by the way the maximum capacity of the stadium.
The number broke the record for the highest attendance in women’s football match history in Australia, as well as being the third highest attendance record in women’s football history.
New Zealand’s record for the most attendances was presented when hosts New Zealand faced Norway in the opening match of the 2023 Women’s World Cup on July 20. The match which took place at Eden Park managed to attract 42,137 spectators which was a record for the most attendance in a football match in New Zealand, for both women and men.
