Wembley sold out for Women’s Finalissima between England and Brazil as Lionesses’ popularity continues to soar after Euros victory

Women's football continues to take off in England with the Lionesses selling out Wembley Stadium again for their upcoming clash against Brazil.

The two footballing nations will do battle in the first-ever female edition of the Finalissima - a contest between the European champions and Copa America winners.

It will give the Lionesses a chance to continue their unprecedented success with another trophy, with the match set to go ahead in April at the Home of Football.

But fans still without tickets hoping to get a chance to watch the game will be disappointed, after the FA revealed on Tuesday that only hospitality packages remain.

Sarina Wiegman's side sent the nation mad over women's football last summer during the Women's Euros in 2022.

The Lionesses played in front of huge crowds throughout the home tournament, who roared them to success as they beat Germany in the final.

Demand for tickets appears to have stuck around after the latest match sold out against Brazil - but that is not the only one.

England sold out when they faced the United States at Wembley last year, while Women's Super League sides have reported an increase in ticket sales during domestic games.

She said last month: "I wouldn't have done it without those girls over there and the team that have backed me. Yes, I've got this accolade, I did my job, I scored a few goals but I wouldn't have done it without them.

"And I certainly wouldn't have done it without my mum, my dad and all my family.

"But most of all, this is for women's sport, and for women's sport heading in the right direction. So let's keep pushing girls and let's keep doing the right thing."
