League Attendances in 2014

Nadeshiko League 2014 Attendances

The overall average attendance for the 132 Nadeshiko League games played in 2014 was 1,593. This represents a decrease of 15% from the 2013 figure of 1,865. The average attendances for the last number of years are as follows:

2014: 1,593
2013: 1,865
2012: 2,572
2011: 2,796 (before the Women's World Cup: 788; following Japan's victory: 3,800)
2010: 912
2009: 1,067
2008: 1,107

One large factor is that teams sometimes play home games in other parts of Japan, usually a significant distance from their home city. In 2014 there were eight such games, and their average attendance was 2,484. There were also eight such games in 2013, the average for those was 2,772. In some cases teams did not play at home per se, but the distance travelled was not significant and these games are ignored for the purposes of these statistics.

The average attendance for the first ninety games in the Regular Series was 1,597. For the forty-two games in the Exciting Series the average was 1,586.
