Washington Spirit sets new record for home game attendance

Over 150,000 fans have attended Washington Spirit matches at Audi Field in the 2024 regular season, breaking franchise records.

Why it matters: Washington is now the fourth club in league history to hit those numbers, and the first non-West Coast club to do so.

The big picture: Women's soccer is growing. Fans are driving higher Spirit ticket prices, and the city welcomed a second pro women's team this year, DC Power Football Club.

What's next: The Spirit returns from a three-match away stretch on Oct. 13 to take on Racing Louisville FC.
