76,000 Watch Spain Win Its First Women's World Cup

Spain secured the Women's World Cup with a 29th-minute goal by Olga Carmona, overcoming internal team divisions. Australia, as co-host, saw massive local engagement, with nearly 3 million viewers watching the final despite not having a team in the match. The global audience is expected to exceed 2 billion, a significant increase from the previous tournament. Economically, the event could bring $1.2 billion to Australia. The prize pool for the women's tournament increased to $110 million, though it remains a quarter of the men's prize in Qatar. However, the gap is expected to close as the women's tournament gains momentum.
