Old Trafford to host England's Women's Euro 2021 opener

England will play the opening match of UEFA Women’s Euro 2021 at Manchester United’s iconic Old Trafford venue on Wednesday, July 7.

It becomes the fourth Premier League ground to be added to the tournament’s list of venues, which also includes Wembley, the venue for the final on Sunday, August 1.

England’s other group games will take place at the homes of Brighton and Southampton, but they will kick off their campaign in Manchester – a place that means a lot to their head coach, Phil Neville.
