UEFA Women’s Euro 2017

The tournament, the first 16-team European Championship, takes place in the Netherlands from 16 July to 6 August next year and from a British point of view the standout game of the group stage will be the meeting of England and first-time qualifiers Scotland in Utrecht on Wednesday 19 July.

Matches are also being played in Rotterdam, Breda, Doetinchem and Tilburg and a quick look at the UEFA website indicates that this should be a fairly accessible and affordable tournament for anyone wishing to travel across.

Tickets for all of the group games and quarter-finals are priced at either 10 or 20 Euros, for the semi-finals it is 15 and 30 and for the final, tickets are priced at 20 and 40 Euros.

For those players currently plying their trade in the FA Women’s Super League, preparations for Euro 2017 will be by way of the Spring Series, a transitional campaign that runs from February to May and which is designed to fill the gap as WSL moves to a winter campaign.

Teams will play either four of five home matches and Durham Women FC have been quick off the mark to say that anyone who held a 2016 season ticket will be able to use it to gain entry to their games.
