Newcastle United women made history by attracting 38,502 fans to their match against Sunderland, shattering the previous Women's Championship attendance record of 15,387. This landmark event also marked a club record, surpassing the 28,565 that attended an FA Cup match in November 2022. The game ended with Newcastle winning 1-0, thanks to Shania Hayles’ late goal. The atmosphere was electrifying, amplified by a pre-match trophy parade for the men's team's Carabao Cup victory, showing the club's growing support and community involvement in women's football.
"I didn't actually realise how many people were here and when I was warming up I saw it. It is just amazing how many fans we get down here."
"I've never played in front of that many fans, let alone scored. At Kingston Park they show up whether it is raining or sunny so to do it today for them, it means everything to me."
