Women’s football didn’t just grow over the last decade. Its competition landscape expanded with it. ⚽📈

From around 450 games in Europe in 2016 to a much broader continental calendar today, new formats, more clubs and greater competitive depth have changed the scale of the women’s game.

🏆 More winners in the Women’s Champions League
📉 Smaller winning margins
🌍 A bigger World Cup ahead
🌐 And a first FIFA Women’s Club World Cup coming in 2028

These are some of the numbers behind Chapter 6 of Football 2016–2026: The Decade that Rewrote the Rules, exploring how competition formats have evolved over the past 10 years.
And the conversation continues in Madrid.
