England kicks off Women’s European Championship against Austria next July
The dream for the English players is to have Old Trafford at 76,000 capacity for their Women’s European Championship opener against Austria next July before lifting the trophy in front of 90,000 fans at Wembley.
But first England, which reached the semi-finals at the 2017 Euros and the 2015 and 2019 World Cups, will have to advance from Group A. There’s also a game in Brighton against Norway, which England beat 3-0 in the 2019 World Cup quarter-finals, before going to Southampton to play Northern Ireland, which has qualified for a women’s tournament for the first time.
The furthest England’s women have reached at a tournament is finishing runners-up at the Euros in 1984 and 2009. This time they’ll be hoping home advantage helps – just as it did for the men’s team reaching the European Championship final in July. Wiegman has already lifted the trophy – with her native Netherlands in 2017 – before leading them to the World Cup final in 2019, losing to the United States. The Euro 2022 draw, which took place across the road from Manchester United’s Old Trafford, placed the Netherlands in Group C with Sweden, Russia and Switzerland.
