ENGLAND’S Lionesses will play Italy at the Coventry Building Society Arena as part of a double-header in the Arnold Clark Cup in February next year.
The Lionesses have enjoyed a historic year after winning the UEFA European Championship’s in the summer on home soil and are the defending Arnold Clark Cup champions.
And the Italy clash in Coventry will be one of the last chances to see the Lionesses before Sarina Wiegman’s team head off to the 2023 Women’s World Cup which is due to be held in Australia and New Zealand next summer.
The game will take place on Sunday, February 19 before Belgium take on South Korea in the second fixture of the double-header with fans able to see both matches on the same ticket.
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.”
Tickets are on sale now at: www.arnoldclarkcup.com and start from £10 for adults and £5 for concessions.
The double-header at the 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.
