"I have been 10 years in the business and every year it is growing," said Aftab Hadi, owner of Robson Sports, which sells licensed team sports jerseys, caps and scarves on Vancouver’s main shopping street a few blocks from the football stadium.

“我从事这一行有十年了，每年的销量都在上涨。经营罗布森体育用品店的阿夫塔卜•哈迪(Aftab Hadi)说。哈迪的店在温哥华足球场附近主商业街上销售有授权的球衣、帽子和围巾等。

Official Women's World Cup football balls, which cost C$159 each, are almost sold out, he said.

哈迪表示，官方女足世界杯足球每个售价159加元(约790元人民币)，全部都销售一空。

Even so, the attention paid to the women's game does not yet match the focus on men's football.

尽管如此，对女足的关注度仍然不能与男足相比。

Joe Wendt, manager of a River City Sports store near Winnipeg's stadium, said Canadian women's football apparel has sold well during the tournament - but only about half as well as gear for men's teams usually does.

温尼伯体育场附近河城体育(River City Sports )商店的经理乔•温特(Joe Wendt)表示，加拿大的女子球服在比赛期间卖得非常好——但只是平常男足球服销量的一半而已。
