The current Women's World Cup will be the most well-attended edition in history and is on course to smash the per-match record set in Canada in 2015, Football Australia chief executive James Johnson said on Friday.

He also reiterated that a successful Women's World Cup could be a springboard to Australia hosting the men's event.

"There have been more people attending matches than any Women's World Cup," Johnson told a news briefing to mark the end of the group stage in Australia and co-host New Zealand.
