A record-breaking 1.12 billion viewers watched the 2019 Women's World Cup, a Fifa report says.

The USA lifted their fourth title with a 2-0 win over the Netherlands in France, in a final which had an estimated average live audience of 82.18 million.

The average live match audience more than doubled from Canada in 2015.

"The fact we broke 1 billion shows the pulling power of the women's game," said Fifa president Gianni Infantino.

"If we promote and broadcast world-class football widely, whether it's played by men or women, the fans will always want to watch."

According to Fifa's report which looked at viewing across all platforms - there were 993.5 million watching on TV alone and 481.5 million accessed the coverage on digital platforms.
