Women’s EURO 2022 kicks off in England today- with the Lionesses hoping to bring home the trophy on home soil.
The tournament, which begins with the hosts taking on Austria at Old Trafford at 8pm, will see 16 nations battle it out to be crowned European champions. The final is scheduled to take place on Sunday 31 July at 5pm.
The competition will be the first real test for new England women’s manager Sarina Wiegman. The 52-year-old, from the Netherlands, was appointed in August 2020 but did not take up the role until September 2021.
