Historic record for Belgian football: 9,285 tickets were sold for the women’s Champions League match between OHL Women and Arsenal Women this Monday at 9:00 p.m.
It’s obviously a very good thing for women’s football to be able to fill a stadium like the King Power at Den Dreef Stadium. Never has a women’s football match in Belgium welcomed so many spectators. “A new major step for the club and for Belgian women’s football,” writes OHL in a press release.
The previous record dates back to 2023 during the Cup final between KRC Genk and Standard de Liège. At the time, 9,027 football fans visited the Sclessin stadium.
A victory would ensure qualification for the next round
At the sporting level, the stakes are high for the Louvanists. To be sure of qualifying for the knockout phase, they will have to win against the Londoners. In the event of a tie, it will depend on the results of the other teams, and especially Vålerenga, on this last day. If the Norwegians do not win against Bayern, they will qualify. They will also be if Vålerenga wins against the German giant and Atlético Madrid… loses by 11 goals or more against OL.
OHL Women could even qualify by losing. For this to happen, Vålerenga would have to fail to win against Bayern Munich. Suffice it to say that they have a very good chance of finishing in the top 12.
This meeting will be followed live and free on RTBF channels. Having already become the first Belgian team to win a match in the competition last October, the Louvanistes could make a little more history by advancing to the next round.
