England's European Championship-winning women's football team will be playing at Ashton Gate in Bristol next year for the first time in eight years as part of an international tournament across the country.
Ashton Gate will host England's Lionesses' match against Belgium in the Arnold Clark Cup as part of a final matchday double header on Wednesday, February 22. It will be the final tournament for Beth Mead and co before the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, and the tournament will see England, Belgium, Italy and South Korea play in venues across the country.
It's the first time England's women's team have played at Ashton Gate since a 1-0 World Cup qualifying victory played in torrential rain back in 2015, and the Lionesses return to BS3 as European Champions and with a huge boom in interest in the women's game both internationally and domestically.
