as salam alaikum

if the environment at the stadium is corruptive or immoral, it is not permissible to attend matches or gatherings, regardless being man or woman. Fans' claims and feelings of superiority, clashes, loosing one's own control, promiscuity, alcoholism, forbidden looks, etc., are often a constant in certain stadiums and promoted by certain factions. That is not appropriate for a Muslim to witness and it should be avoided.

With prayers for your success.

All rules in Islam are based on the benefit of human beings and avoiding them any type of harm.
Watching opposite gender should not be a cause of harm under any circumstance.
Men playing football or women playing any sport are been done with dress which is not necessarily according to Hijab rules, that is why watching opposite gender playing should be avoided especially when there is a possibility of harm. If all conditions of Hijab are fulfilled and there is no possibility of any harm, then it will be allowed.

Wassalam.
