YOUNG LIONESSES TO CLOSE OUT 2024 IN DONCASTER

England WU23s last match of 2024 will take place at Doncaster Rover’s Eco-Power Stadium on Monday 2 December (KO 19:00 GMT). The Young Lionesses will welcome Sweden to Yorkshire for their final group stage fixture in the WU23 European competition, where they will be looking to secure a top two finish in Group B to progress to the semi-finals.

The remainder of Group B is made up of the Netherlands, Portugal and Norway, whilst France, Spain, Italy, Belgium and Germany make up Group A. The current standings for the European competition can be seen on The FA website.

Sweden is a familiar opposition for the Young Lionesses, who they last faced in April when Emma Coates’ side secured a 3-1 victory in Telford. Tickets for the upcoming fixture can be purchased via this link, priced at £5 for adults, £3 for concessions and 14–24-year-olds and £1 for under-14s. This is the first time the WU23s have played in Doncaster, with a record crowd just shy of 3,000 turning out to witness a 1-0 win over Portugal at Shrewsbury Town in October.

Emma Coates said: “We’re really looking forward to playing in Doncaster and in a part of the country that we haven’t played in before. We’ll be looking to close the year out strongly, so we hope to see another great crowd turn out to cheer us on as we aim to secure qualification for the next round of our European competition. On a personal note, Doncaster Rovers is a club that means a great deal to me and it’ll be a special night to bring the Young Lionesses there.”
