UEFA Women's Euro 2021 to kick off at Old Trafford

With today marking 500 days to go until the action kicks off on 7 July 2021, The FA has released the full match schedule. It includes confirmation that England will open the tournament at the iconic 74,879 capacity venue in Greater Manchester, offering the host nation the opportunity to break the attendance record for a UEFA Women’s EURO in its opening fixture.

Home of Manchester United, Old Trafford is one of ten grounds across the country which will stage UEFA Women’s EURO 2021 matches next summer. Wembley Stadium – with a capacity of 90,000 – will host the showpiece final on 1 August, meaning the venue is hosting back-to-back men’s and women’s European Championship finals in 2020 and 2021.
