Football’s coming home to Rotherham next Summer – and you can be part of the drama of the draw for the Women’s Euros, live at host venue, the New York Stadium on Thursday 28 October.
The Women’s European Championships is being held in England from 6 - 31 July 2022, with Rotherham as one of the nine host cities. The best female players in Europe will join football fans from across the globe in Rotherham for three group games (10 July, 14 July and 18 July), as well as the quarter-final on 23 July.
England and the rest of the competing nations will find out their group stage opponents when the draw is made on Thursday 28 October.
To celebrate the live draw and to find out which teams will be coming to Rotherham, we’re inviting the football family - players, coaches, referees and fans - to the New York Stadium to watch the live draw together.
The event will run from 4pm – 7.30pm, with talks from local football legends, a football quiz, information on how to get involved - whether that be playing football, refereeing or maybe volunteering at the tournament itself - plus there will be some light refreshments with the bar open to purchase drinks.
A limited number of tickets are available for this FREE event. BOOK YOUR PLACE HERE.
Councillor David Sheppard, Cabinet Member for Inclusion at Rotherham Council said: “Rotherham is ready to welcome Europe next Summer and we can’t wait. The draw for the tournament is a landmark moment. It will be watched by a huge worldwide TV audience and knowing which nations and star players we will be hosting here will make it feel so much closer.
“Watching the draw together at the New York Stadium, talking football with fellow fans and hearing from some local football legends will be a fantastic way to whet your appetite and begin the countdown to what promises to be an incredible Women’s Euros summer.”
When the draw has been made, the ballot for tickets to the tournament will open and you can get in on the action. To find out more, go to the UEFA Women's Euros website.
