🏟️ Next milestone: Women's Euros set stunning new record
The 2025 Women's European Championship has set new standards: with a total of 657,291 spectators, the tournament recorded the highest total attendance in the history of a Women's European Championship. This clearly surpassed the previous record from 2022 and underlines the continuously growing interest in women's football. Games in front of sold-out stands, an increasingly passionate fan atmosphere, and strong TV ratings characterized the past three weeks in Switzerland. In comparison to the men's Club World Cup games taking place at the same time, the European Championship matches achieved significantly better TV ratings. Once again, it was confirmed: women's football is and remains on a growth course! This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

A crowd gathers to watch a performance at the Winnipeg Folk Fest on July 11, 2025. (Jamie Dowsett/CTV News) The 50th edition of the Winnipeg Folk Festival had a banner year for attendance. Despite the smoky weather conditions, the festival broke records with 79,000 attendees, including audience members, volunteers, artists and donors. The lineup included festival favourites, such as Jason Isbell and Fred Penner, as well as artists new to the festival, including Peach Pit and Mavis Staples. The festival, which wrapped up on Sunday, also saw Mayor Scott Gillingham present Bruce Cockburn with a key to the city, and a section of Highway 59 renamed as 'Winnipeg Folk Festival Volunteer Way.' The 51st edition of the Winnipeg Folk Fest is scheduled for July 9 to 12, 2026.
