New Women's FA Cup final attendance record to be set of over 65,000

A new Women's FA Cup final attendance record will be set at Wembley next month when Manchester United take on Chelsea.

The Women's FA Cup final attendance record is set to be smashed when Manchester United take on Chelsea at Wembley next month, with the Football Association announcing that more than 65,000 tickets have been issued.

The current record stands at 49,094 from last season's contest, when Chelsea beat Manchester City 3-2 at the stadium after extra-time.

Emma Hayes' Blues, aiming for a third-consecutive success in the competition, take on first-time finalists United on May 14, with the kick-off time now confirmed as 2.30pm.

Chelsea advanced to the final with Sunday's 1-0 win at Aston Villa, a day after Marc Skinner's United got past Brighton 3-2 at Leigh Sports Village.

The sides are also vying for the Women's Super League title, with leaders United currently a point clear of second-placed defending champions Chelsea, having played a game more.
