From 8am [BST] today, tickets to UEFA Women’s EURO England 2022 are officially on sale with all fans of football, women’s sport and big events encouraged to get involved in what promises to be the biggest women’s sporting event in European history.
St Mary’s stadium will be hosting three games during the tournament. They are
– Norway v Northern Ireland (Thursday 7 July) Kick-Off 8pm
– Austria v Northern Ireland (Monday 11 July) Kick-Off 5pm
– Northern Ireland v England (Friday 15 July) Kick-Off 8pm
Visitors to St Mary’s will be able to watch some of the best players in the world. England’s all time top goalscorer Ellen White will be expected to feature and add to her current record, with the Stadium also playing host to all of Northern Ireland’s group games. Local and international fans alike will be excited to hear that Southampton players Laura Rafferty and Ciara Watling will be playing for the Northern Ireland team during the tournament which means they can watch all three of their Group fixtures here at St Mary’s Stadium.
Mary D’Arcy, Executive Director Communities, Culture & Homes, said: “With the world’s best players on display and a record number of tickets on offer for matches, the atmosphere for Women’s EURO 22 promises to be something special. The tournament always delivers great football moments, and the stage is set for Southampton to provide fans with an opportunity to experience those first-hand.”
More than 350,000 tickets of the over 700,000 available have already sold for the tournament in the pre-sale, public ballot and group bookings stage. It means UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 is set to be a record-breaking event already, beating the previous tournament record of 240,000 set at Netherlands EURO 2017.
16 nations take part in this year’s tournament which will be played out across England, with nine venues playing host to 31 games including Brighton & Hove, London, Manchester, Milton Keynes, Rotherham, Sheffield, Southampton, Trafford and Wigan & Leigh.
To mark the occasion of 100 days to go until the tournament starts, organisers launched an eye-catching giant table-football installation featuring 9ft tall female footballers in Carnaby Street today.
The installation features players representing the top-seeded team in each group (England, Germany, Netherlands and France) and will be in situ until 10 April.
Chris Bryant, Tournament Director for UEFA Women’s EURO 2022, added: “This is it now. We are just 100 days out from what promises to be a huge, history making spectacle for women’s football.
“We have made a great start already regarding ticket sales. It’s a case now of putting all the final plans in place and generating the excitement around a major sporting event that England has done so well previously.
“This is an opportunity to open up women’s football to new audiences. We wanted to make a bold statement and the installation in Carnaby Street is evident of that. I would encourage anyone who has not already got a ticket to snap them up soon, especially as we are expecting all the available tickets for several matches including all England games and the Final to be purchased soon after going on sale.”
UEFA Women’s EURO England 2022 brings the tournament back to England for the first time since 2005. Tickets are priced from £5 – £50, with a family of four [two adults and two children] able to watch some of the world’s best players from just £30 or £45 for England games, a semi-final or the final.
