Capos, ‘soft hooligans' and a lot of noise – the rise of away fans in women's football
Even before Finland's group match against 2025 European Championship hosts Switzerland kicked off, Melissa Platt's voice is almost gone. She's acting as 'capo' for Finland's fans, leading their chants on the walk to the Stade de Geneve and then inside it, and has underestimated how loud it would be. Advertisement 'Switzerland was expecting 10,000-12,000 fans for their fan walk. We were expecting 150 Finnish fans,' Platt, who moved to Finland from the United States almost 20 years ago, says. 'We were thinking, 'How are we going to create some kind of atmosphere? We're going to be totally drowned out'. Somehow that didn't happen.' As the procession made its way to the stadium south of central Geneva, Platt decided to take what she expected to be a short walk to the rear of the assembled group of Finland supporters. 'I just kept walking back and back and back. It felt like I was walking forever with these Finnish fans, and yelling, with my voice kind of hoarse, but going, 'Louder! Suomi!' (the Finnish word for Finland). It was great. People were so responsive and hyped for it.' In the end, she gave up on reaching the back of the crowd. There were just too many people. This summer's tournament has made significant progress in attracting travelling supporters to Switzerland. UEFA, European football's governing body, said before the tournament kicked off that 35 per cent of the match tickets were bought by international customers. The record for the most away fans at a single women's Euros game was broken this month with 17,000 Germany supporters attending their win over Denmark in Basel, a city within walking distance of the Swiss-German border, in the group stage. The tournament-record crowd for a group match not involving the host country — 22,596 watching the Netherlands vs Switzerland at Sheffield United's Bramall Lane in 2022 — has been bettered on six occasions, with the 34,165 at that Germany-Denmark game the largest. It is not only fans of historically successful footballing nations who have travelled. Finland, who have not progressed past the Euros' group stage since 2009, and Wales, making their major tournament debut, each brought thousands of vocal supporters. The Football Association of Finland estimates at least 1,000 Finns attended each of their three group games, while the Football Association of Wales says around 7,000 Welsh fans travelled to Switzerland for their first taste of a major women's competition. Switzerland's central location within Europe and the travel arrangements put in place for Euro 2025 are partly behind this increase. Free return matchday travel to the stadium involved from anywhere in the host nation by public transport is included in the price of match tickets — a welcome concession in an otherwise expensive country. Germany used a similar scheme when it staged the men's version of this tournament last summer. Advertisement The ticket pricing structure, ranging from 25 Swiss francs (£23, $32, €27) for the cheapest group matches to 90 (£84, $114, €96) for the most expensive seats for the final, has helped, too. Twenty-two of 31 matches were sold out before the start of the competition and Germany's semi-final with Spain saw a tournament record set for cumulative attendance: 623,088. The final is a 34,250 sell-out. St Jakob-Park in Basel, the venue for that final, is Switzerland's largest football stadium, but Sunday's fixture cannot come close to breaking the Women's Euros final attendance record set at 90,000-capacity Wembley in London three years earlier, with 87,192 in the crowd that day as England beat Germany. Accessibility is important but, as Swedish fan Estrid Kjellman pointed out, it isn't everything: 'You don't want people to just go because it's easy or free; you want people to actually want to come and want to chant and sing for their team. You need to have passionate engagement.' When Kjellman attended her first major women's tournament, Euro 2017 in the Netherlands, she thought: 'Where is everyone?' 'It was just so silent, there were no Swedish people (at Sweden's games), there were no pre-match gatherings, there was nothing organised at all around the fans, except for the Dutch fans. I wanted to be loud, I wanted to be fun, I wanted to be engaging and interactive.' Kjellman decided to set up a fans' group called Soft Hooligans, so named because at the time their loud cheering was so unusual they were looked at 'like we were crazy, like we were hooligans'. At Zurich's Stadion Letzigrund, for their team's eventual penalty shootout defeat by England in the quarter-finals, those in Sweden's luminous yellow shirts were outnumbered. It did not matter though, as Kjellman and company drowned out their English counterparts over three tense hours of football. Advertisement There was bouncing, drumming, singing, even a call-and-response chant with another group of Swedish fans sitting in another part of the stadium in the second half. Their noise only dipped after the shootout was over — they had remained loud after England, from 2-0 down, scored twice in three minutes late on to force extra time. Even then, they were prepared, producing huge banners in tribute to the head coach, Peter Gerhardsson, whose time in charge of the team would end when their involvement in the tournament did. They read, 'You are the one shining' – a modification of lyrics from Gerhardsson's favourite musical artist, Joakim Thastrom — and 'Thank you so, so, so much Peter'. It was a far cry from the atmosphere Kjellman experienced eight years ago in the Netherlands. Speaking to The Athletic before the quarter-finals, she said the number of away fans at these Euros had been 'next level'. The next big tournament in women's football, the 2027 World Cup, will be out of reach for many European fans as it is being played in Brazil, but should attract supporters from across North and South America. That will be followed by Euro 2029, the host nation for which will be announced in December, and the 2035 World Cup, in the UK — England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The question for all three of those tournaments is how they can build on the numbers and the noise seen and heard in Switzerland over these past few weeks. 'It's been really positive to see the atmosphere created,' says Deborah Dilworth, head of women's football at the UK's Football Supporters' Association. 'We have had a dedicated England section here — if I look back to the World Cup (in Australia and New Zealand in 2023), it was disjointed, and so the visibility of England fans and the capacity to make noise was strained. 'This time around, there's at least 2,000 in a block of fans that are all England fans, all singing. The administration has helped the atmosphere.' Dilworth says the organisation of fan walks, pre-match meetups and supporter embassies (which can help travellers with issues such as lost passports or broken phones) are positives, too: 'Fans are being supported as they travel, which is what will make people come back.' Platt emphasises the importance of tournament organisers and national associations working with fans to help create an atmosphere. Advertisement '(Supporters) are going to want to do things like having a capo or a chant leader in the front,' she says. 'The Finnish association facilitated us being able to create the atmosphere there by making sure we knew what kind of certification we needed for our banners, making sure that we could bring in the drums. 'Having this kind of structured support is a critical way of growing the game.' Dilworth wants organisers to consult with fans about what helps them travel, and to consider the specific needs of a women's football audience. In Switzerland this summer, one debate has been over bringing water into stadiums. For some of the tournament's first matches, which took place as a heatwave hit the region, fans were able to take in their own drinks. However, Dilworth feels the rules could have been relaxed further to reflect the needs of crowds which could include menopausal women or families with small children — and that she thinks are also less likely to use those bottles as missiles than their equivalent at a tournament in the men's game. 'I know there's a logistical challenge sometimes, but I do think sometimes (the approach is), 'Well, it's football and it's a stadium', instead of thinking things through for the audience that you're welcoming in,' she says. The question is no longer whether people will turn out to watch international football competitions in the women's game, or travel to another country to do so. It is now what organisers are going to do to a) keep them coming back for future editions, and b) make the atmosphere better still. '(The support) is growing, but there's still a lot that can be done,' Kjellman said. 'A lot will change before the next World Cup and the next Euros,' she smiles. 'And I think it will become even louder.'

Chelsea are back - and anything is possible as Blues target title push after Club World Cup triumph
The joke doing the rounds after Chelsea's Club World Cup triumph was that photos of Donald Trump stood among the players during their trophy lift felt more like the results of AI fabrication than real-life footage. But while the US President's appearance was rather unprecedented, it feels like we might have to get used to the sight of Chelsea lifting major silverware. Forty-six days after the Blues won the Conference League in Wroclaw, they were crowned world champions by stunning Paris Saint-Germain in New Jersey. After a turbulent few years, it feels very much as though Chelsea are a serious force once more. Serious team, and serious contenders. At the end of a draining campaign that lasted 51 weeks and 65 games, Chelsea showed during their month in America that they could challenge for the biggest trophies next season. Enzo Maresca's side can be title contenders and should not be intimidated by anyone on their return to the Champions League. Manchester City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich all showed vulnerabilities at the Club World Cup, and Chelsea hammered PSG. Maresca has said publicly that the youth and talent in the Chelsea squad means they can dominate English football over the next five to 10 years. Winning the Club World Cup is the single most compelling piece of evidence yet that the Chelsea manager may be right. Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City will head into the season as the three biggest favourites to win the title. But Chelsea have shown they can mix it with the best and come out on top, having just thrashed the team who beat Inter Milan 5-0 in the Champions League final and dismantled Real Madrid 4-0 in their semi-final last week. The Blues were so relentless, so much better drilled than PSG that Maresca insisted his team had won the final in the 'first 10 minutes'. Certainly, he got his game-plan spot on and his players executed it perfectly. Fans are yet to see new signing Jamie Gittens in a Chelsea shirt, yet the appearances of Joao Pedro in the second half of the Club World Cup were so encouraging and felt pivotal to them getting over the line and winning the trophy. The Brazilian scored three goals in two starts and each finish was taken with unbridled confidence. Great wealth has been spent on compiling this team. At last, the investment is paying dividends. 'Winning this trophy is a big statement,' said captain Reece James. 'I hope next season we are competing in the Premier League to win the title and competing to go far in the Champions League.' The spine is there for Chelsea to sustain a title challenge, not merely up until December as last season. Levi Colwill and Trevoh Chalobah have formed an excellent understanding as a centre-back pairing; Moises Caicedo was possibly the best defensive midfielder in England last season; Joao Pedro and Liam Delap look set for a fascinating battle for game time up front. And there is a genuine star at the heart of it all in Cole Palmer, no longer drifting in and out of games and firmly back among the goals at the Club World Cup. Against PSG, when Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia or Fabian Ruiz could easily have taken on the mantle, it was instead Palmer who could not be predicted, could not be stopped, and whose immense impact proved decisive. He scored twice, assisted once, and makes anything possible for Chelsea as they head into the new season. But first, a three-week rest. No one can say they haven't earned it.

Amazon renews UEFA Women's Football partnership until 2030
Ahead of the UEFA Women's Euro final this weekend, Amazon has announced an extension of the multi-year partnership with UEFA Women's Football until 2030. The new deal covers the UEFA Women's Champions League, UEFA Women's Euro 2029, UEFA Women's Nations League and UEFA Women's Youth tournaments (U19 and U17). It also establishes Amazon as each competition's official retail sponsor. Amazon levels up its women's football shop As part of Amazon's role as the official retail sponsor, the online marketplace refreshed its Women's Football Shop ahead of the Euro 2025 in Switzerland. The new and evolved shop features thousands of products to help elevate fans' experiences with fast delivery for Prime members on eligible products. The refresh included a ticket giveaway to give fans the opportunity to get closer to the action. The shop will continue to grow, supporting all aspects of the game both on and off the pitch beyond the tournament this summer. Laura Downey, EU Head of Amazon Brand said: 'Fans and players have been the true driving force behind women's football's incredible growth, their passion and dedication have transformed this sport from grassroots up shown by another record breaking tournament in Switzerland. We're grateful to play a role in supporting this remarkable community — whether that's helping a young player find their first pair of boots, or enabling fans to show their team colours — as they continue to write the next exciting chapter of women's football.'

(Photo by Molly Darlington – UEFA/UEFA via Getty Images) A team-up to grow women's football In order to further drive momentum, Amazon and UEFA are collaborating on key initiatives to help grow the sport: research with the UEFA Innovation Programme and Switzerland's School of Engineering and Management Vaud to address coaching gender disparities (currently only 4.5 percent of European coaches are women) and 'Off-Mute' — an AWS-powered platform where women and girls can share football experiences, identify barriers and suggest improvements to increase accessibility. Guy-Laurent Epstien, UEFA Executive Director of Marketing and UC3 Co-Managing Director, says: 'We are delighted to extend our partnership with Amazon through 2030, building on the momentum we've created together for women's football across Europe. 'Their support in growing women's football — on and off the pitch — from its dedicated Women's Football Shop to the support of the UEFA Women's EURO 2025 Innovation Programme, aligns perfectly with UEFA's vision for the future of the sport. This renewal represnts more than a partnership – it's a shared belief in the power of women's football and its unlimited potential for growth.'
