1.12bn viewers surpasses 82.18m target
In a report by Fifa, 993.5m viewers watch at least one minute of the coverage alone; on top of 481.5 million viewers tuning in on a digital device.
Fifa President Gianni Infantino said:
“The fact that we broke the one billion target just shows the pulling power of the women’s game and the fact that, if we promote and broadcast world-class football widely, whether it’s played by men or women, the fans will always want to watch.”
