​England women set for record home attendance

England women are set for a record home crowd after selling more than 50,000 tickets for a game against Germany at Wembley in November, reports BBC Sport.

The previous record was 45,619 when Germany were also the opponents and claimed a 3-0 win at Wembley in 2014.

"We are really grateful for the incredible support," said England head coach Phil Neville.

"We had loads travelling to watch us in France [for the World Cup], millions tuning in on TV and now this incredible show of support for the Germany game.

"It will be a brilliant way to end what has been a great year that began with winning the SheBelieves Cup, saw the World Cup campaign bring Olympic qualification and marked a huge transformation in how the game is seen in this country."
