Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium will host England Women’s final FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027 qualifying match against Ukraine on June 9.
It will be another significant moment in the stadium’s history after it opened its doors officially last summer. This will also be the second international football fixture to be held at the venue after it was earlier confirmed that Scotland would take on Côte d'Ivoire in a men’s FIFA World Cup warm-up game in March.
“It is very exciting for us to be playing for the first time at Everton’s new stadium,” said England head coach Sarina Wiegman.
“We have always said that taking this team around the country is so important, and we’re really looking forward to playing in front of fans in the north-west. The city of Liverpool has a rich football history with many connections to the Lionesses over the years, so it will be a very special evening.
“Every game matters and this match will be the last in our qualification campaign. As always, we'll give our very best to play at our highest level and put ourselves in the best possible place to finish the group strongly.”
Earlier this week, Hill Dickinson Stadium was also selected to host Fiji’s Nations Championship rugby union fixture against England on July 11.
