This research on the explanatory factors of spectators' disinterest in women's football championship competitions in Ivory Coast aims to analyze the factors that explain spectators' disinterest in accessing stadiums during women's football championship competitions. Indeed, despite the interest that spectators have in the king of sports, disinterest persists in women's sport. The said research took into account 100 subjects among men and women who were present at the stadium during women's football matches and people living near the stadium. At the end of the surveys, it appears that the disinterest in women's football in Ivory Coast is explained by a lack of media visibility, inadequate infrastructure for spectators, an average level of play in the face of emerging professionalism, socio-cultural challenges such as patriarchal barriers, and a lack of commercial promotion and organization of unifying events. Low financial support and the absence of professionalism in clubs also contribute to a less attractive spectacle.
