Over 500,000 match tickets have already been sold which represents double the number of the spectators compared to the last competition staged in the Netherlands in 2017 with that tournament representing the previously highest attended to date.

The half a million tickets already sold have been purchased from 99 countries, with 20 % of ticket purchases coming from outside of host nation England. This includes the other 15 participating national associations and also ticket orders, for example, from North America, China, and Australia, reflecting the global appeal of the competition.
