Tonight’s attendance is 76,798 - and I’m fairly certain that is a new record for the Matildas,folks.
During the World Cup they could only fit 75,784 people into Accor Stadium,which was previously the biggest crowd in Matildas history … and that number above is clear of it by about 1000.
This is,therefore,officially the biggest crowd the Matildas have ever played in front of. Ever.
And it’s a Monday night in June for a friendly.
I think that’s what they call the Matildas effect.
