Growing Interest in Women's Sports Among US Adults
May 13, 2025 - 18:33
When Meghan Sells heads to Providence Park to watch Oregon's professional women's soccer team, she finds herself among a fairly mixed crowd—groups of young women, dads bringing their children, youth players checking out the Thorns' latest match. This scene reflects a broader trend observed in a recent poll, which indicates that nearly 30% of US adults actively follow women's sports.
The increasing visibility of women's athletics has contributed to this surge in interest. Major events, such as the Women's World Cup and the rise of professional leagues, have captured the attention of diverse audiences. Families are attending games together, fostering a sense of community and support for female athletes.
As more women take to the field and showcase their talent, the hope is that this trend continues to grow, encouraging even greater participation and viewership in the future. The commitment of fans like Sells is a promising sign for the future of women's sports in America.
