UEFA Euro 2025 highlights attention given to women's football

As the UEFA Women's Euro 2025 breaks attendance records in Switzerland, FRANCE 24's Perspective programme discusses a boost in support for the women's league and how it's covered in the media. A French broadcaster that was supposed to show a group stage match between France and the Netherlands on Sunday night decided to show the men's FIFA Club World Cup final between Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea instead. For retired French footballer Laura Georges, the decision was disappointing. "As the main broadcaster, you have to support your team," she says. Women's football "has been evolving", Georges adds, though it still needs "more sponsors" and "leaders who believe in the game".
