England Women to Host Ukraine at Everton's New Stadium

The England women's national football team is set to host Ukraine at Everton's Hill Dickinson Stadium on June 9, 2024. This match will be significant as it marks the first time any England team plays at Everton's new stadium, which opened last summer.

The venue is also on the shortlist to host Euro 2028 and the UK bid for the 2035 Women's World Cup. The match against Ukraine is part of the qualifying campaign for the 2027 Women's World Cup, where England is in a group with Spain, Iceland, and Turkey.

Sarina Wiegman, the two-time European champion and current coach of the Lionesses, expressed excitement about playing in front of fans in the North West, highlighting the rich football history of Liverpool. The Lionesses will also face Iceland at the City Ground on March 3, 2024, and Spain on April 14, 2024, at Wembley Stadium.
