The UEFA Women’s Euros are set to be the first major international football tournament to be played in front of capacity crowds since the coronavirus pandemic began at the start of 2020.  

Out of the opening 140,00 tickets sold, 47 per cent of the purchasers are female with 21 per cent of tickets bought by concessions under the age of 16. 

The record attendance for a women’s fixture was set in November 2019 when 77,768 fans turned up to England’s friendly with Germany at Wembley, which can host 90,000 supporters for the UEFA Euro 2022 final.  

As well as Wembley, the other venues to host Euros matches next summer include Manchester United’s Old Trafford ground, Southampton’s St Mary’s and Brentford’s Community Stadium in west London. 

England will host the tournament looking to win the tournament for the first time ever

The Manchester City Academy Stadium, Sheffield United’s Bramall Lane and the Amex Stadium in Brighton are among the other host venues. 

England will host the tournament having never won the women’s European Championships in its history, but they did reach the final in 1984 and 2009. 

The Lionesses’ first final saw them lose on penalties to Sweden, before being crushed by Germany 6-2 in the showpiece event 25 years later. 

England’s last women’s European Championships campaign saw them reach the semi-finals for the fifth time in their history but they were comfortably beaten 3-0 by the Netherlands.
