Women’s football has grown exponentially in Italy over the last few years, particularly since the games started airing on Sky Sport.
“For example, not everyone knows that the viewing share on Sky for women’s football is higher than Serie B or the English Premier League,” noted Milan Women’s team Coach Carolina Morace.
