Germans lament Euros handball 'betrayal' but record numbers watch historic final 🟢 Ninth title proves elusive for the dominant Germans as they eye England’s WSL investment with envy
“The English crowd demonstrated their spirit of fair play and applauded all the participants in this finale with loud applause. This tournament was played out with class and style until the very end.”
And despite the disappointment, there is broad recognition of the seminal importance of this tournament in the development of women’s football, with a record average 17.9 million viewers tuning in on public broadcaster ARD.. “More goals, more tactics; women’s football is developing more and more, as this tournament in England has proved.
Alexandra Popp, Germany’s star player who missed the final through injury, and other members of the team arriving back in Germany on Monday points out, women’s football in England has benefited massively from the creation of the Women’s Super League since 2010 – and especially with its record-breaking new multi-million pound sponsorship deal with Barclays since 2019.
Following an increase in prize money from the German Football Association , Germany’s women would have stood to earn €60,000 each with victory at Wembley. The men, in contrast, would have received €400,000 each had they won Euro 2020. “The whole country has taken this team into their hearts over the past couple of weeks, and that will have a long-lasting effect,” said DFB President Bernd Neuendorf after the final at Wembley.
