""I think it's an amazing opportunity," Bayern midfielder Georgia Stanway said ahead of the match."
""To have sold 50,000 tickets is unbelievable. The fact that we are playing at the Allianz [the stadium usually used by the men's side] is something that should happen more often.""
""But in order for us to do this, we have to play entertaining football. We need to be exciting to watch to get the fans in.""
"The opening match will be broadcast on Germany's main public broadcaster, ARD, alongside MagentaSport and DAZN with more Bundesliga matches set to be broadcast on free-to-air television throughout the season than ever before."
Bayern Munich's season opener versus Bayer Leverkusen at the Allianz Arena attracted over 50,000 tickets, setting a Bundesliga single-match attendance record as the league expands to 14 teams. Georgia Stanway described the occasion as an amazing opportunity and urged that the team play entertaining football to retain and grow the crowd. Broadcast arrangements now include Germany's ARD alongside MagentaSport and DAZN, with more free-to-air matches than before, ten matches on ARD/ZDF, every Monday on Sport1, and all 182 fixtures on DAZN. The expansion follows rising interest after Euro 2022 and the 2023 World Cup and raises questions about competitiveness versus the WSL and NWSL.
