Euro 2022 kicks off today with the tournament set to bring in record-breaking crowds. Some 500,000 tickets have already been sold — more than double the number of attendees from Euro 2017 — and England’s opening game against Austria at Old Trafford should be the best attended Women’s Euros game ever.
The last time England hosted the Women’s Euros was in 2005 and they failed to get out of the group stage. But predictions are a bit more optimistic this year, with many seeing England as favourites to win the whole thing. Matches are taking place across the country with host cities including Brighton, Sheffield and Manchester, before it all wraps up at Wembley on July 31.
