Women’s soccer draws on national team impact

In 2019, the FIFA Women’s World Cup was the most-watched Women’s World Cup in history, reaching approximately 1 billion unique individuals, according to findings by Publicis Sport & Entertainment. In the final match between the United States and the Netherlands, there was a live audience of over 82 million people, up over 50% from 2015.

The impact these athletes have on the field has been massive and continues to inspire members of the Marquette women’s soccer team.

Their success in the win category is a large reason for their popularity and success, but for members of the Marquette women’s soccer team, their impact spans beyond their World Cup titles.
