More than 65,000 people lined up the
0:02
streets along the MAL as the Lionesses
0:04
celebrated their victory in the 2025
0:07
women's euros with an open top bus
0:09
parade followed by a ceremony in front
0:12
of Buckingham Palace. But what will the
0:14
Lioness's legacy be? Here's everything
0:17
you need to know in under 60 seconds.
0:19
Have the Lionesses encouraged more
0:21
people to engage with women's football?
0:24
We asked some of those on the ground at
0:26
the victory parade. And what do you
0:28
think the Lionus' win means for Winners
0:31
Oh, absolutely. She started playing
0:32
after the last time they won the Euro.
0:34
So, um, yeah, she loves football now.
0:36
She trains twice a week. Clay's on a
0:37
Sunday, so she loves it.
0:38
Do you think your interest is only going
0:41
Do you think now with the win, are you
0:43
more likely to go to more WSL games?
0:45
100%. Yeah, I think the same for
0:47
everyone. I think it's just it's
0:48
incredible what they've done for the
0:49
game. Fans we spoke to said England's
0:51
triumph over Spain had made them more
0:54
likely to want to watch or play women's
0:56
football. And parents praise the impact
0:58
of the lionesses on young girls taking
1:00
up football. When England last won the
1:02
women's Euros back in 2022, the domestic
1:05
league saw significant growth. All
1:08
women's Super League clubs saw increases
1:10
in attendance levels the following
1:12
season with the game between Arsenal and
1:14
Tottenham Hotspur setting a then
1:16
attendance record of more than 47,000
1:19
fans. While the 2025 Women's Euro
1:22
celebrations continue, attention is
1:24
turning to the next women's Super League
1:26
season and whether the domestic game can
1:28
once again capitalize on the increased
1:30
visibility of women's football thanks to
1:33
the Lioness's triumph in Switzerland.
1:35
The answer from fans who turned up to
1:37
the parade seems to be a resounding yes.
