Road signs across England changed for UEFA Women’s EURO 2022

UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 has taken over traditional welcome signs across England as the tournament’s host cities get ready to welcome the 16 teams taking part in this summer’s competition. Nine host cities including Brighton & Hove, London, Manchester, Milton Keynes, Rotherham, Sheffield, Southampton, Trafford and Wigan & Leigh will play host to 31 games, throughout July.

The new UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 roadsigns showcase the national flags of the teams competing in each city and will be in place for the duration of the tournament. The signs have been installed on key routes, in preparation for the biggest celebration of women’s football in European history.

With over 450,000 tickets sold, even before a ball is kicked, this year’s event has already surpassed the previous tournament record of 240,045 set in the Netherlands (2017). Ahead of the opening match at Old Trafford on 6 July, fans across England are being encouraged to welcome and embrace all the teams arriving in the country.
