The number has increased to one in five, according to the Association of Football Supporters, the Periscope broadcast.
Women watching games are asked if they had experience or if they've seen sexist behavior until they've seen action in the field from the tribuna.
In total, 44% of the 1,913 attending the study admitted that they were told that they had a lot of soccer for a woman at least once in a match, while 34% have heard sexist comments being made.
The alarming number of cases for unwanted physical attention at the match is now 20%, according to the study.
The organisation Women in the Fight also found that most participants ʹ 59% want clubs to condemn those who show sexist behavior during matches.
It has also been said that a low number of women accept this kind of behavior.
Only 4% of women who have participated in the study reportedly accept sexist behavior as part of the football game ʹ a 10% drop from 2014.
By comparison, 75% of fans participating in women's football matches have never had experience with sexist comments and unwanted physical attention during the games. /Periscope. com/
