One out of four Italians indicated in a 2020 survey they were occasionally interested in women's soccer. Moreover, while six percent of respondents watched a match or read news about women’s football at least once a week, just three percent of interviewees did so every day. Overall, roughly six in ten respondents claimed not to be interested in women's soccer.
The profile of Italians interested in women’s soccer
Women’s soccer was quite popular in the Islands, and the South
In 2020, the highest share of Italians interested in women’s soccer related to the Islands (Sicily and Sardinia). About 40 percent of residents in this macro-region followed women’s football at least occasionally. However, it was the South that recorded the highest share of people who followed this sport daily or at least once a week.
