Final Arnold Clark Cup venue confirmed as Lionesses set to take on Italy

The Coventry Building Society Arena is set to host next year's Arnold Clark Cup clash between England and Italy.

The Lionesses are the reigning champions in the competition having beaten Spain, Canada and Germany in the inaugural edition of the Arnold Clark Cup earlier this year. And Sarina Wiegman's side will look to defend their crown when the competition kicks off again in February.

England's match with Le Azzurre will form part of a double-header at the Coventry Building Society (CBS) Arena and will kick off at 3.15pm on February 19.

Belgium will take on South Korea in the second match of the day at 6.15pm, with fans able to see both matches on the same ticket.

The double-header at CBS Arena will take place between match days at Stadium MK (Milton Keynes) on February 16 and Ashton Gate Stadium (Bristol) on February 22, with more than 30,000 tickets already sold across the two venues.

As one of the last opportunities to see England ahead of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, tickets for CBS Arena are also expected to be snapped up quickly.

Paul Michael, Commercial Director at CBS Arena said: “We are thrilled to be hosting this major international tournament at a time when women’s football continues to go from strength to strength – as the impact of the Lionesses’ triumph last summer continues to be felt far and wide.

“Attracting the Arnold Clark Cup underlines CBS Arena’s credentials as one of the UK’s leading sporting venues, and we can’t wait to welcome players and fans for two great matches.”

England fans will be able to watch every match live across ITV, and can follow tournament updates at @arnoldclarkcup / #arnoldclarkcup.

Tickets are now on sale here and start from £10 for adults and £5 for concessions.
