The Brighton Community Stadium will host three fixtures.

With all 16 teams now confirmed for UEFA Women’s EURO 2022, a major ticketing roadmap and legacy programme has been unveiled to illustrate how a record-breaking tournament that has the power to inspire the next generation of players and fans will be delivered on home soil.

With over 700,000 tickets available across the ten venues in nine host cities, an unprecedented number of fans will be able to experience the biggest women’s European sport event ever from 6-31 July 2022.

The Brighton Community Stadium will welcome its first Group A fixture to coincide with Matchday 2 on Monday 11 July 2022, which will be an opportunity to surpass the 20,076 who watched the friendly between England and New Zealand in 2019.

The stadium will then host Matchday 3 on Friday 15 July 2022 ahead of its final fixture, which will be the first quarter-final between the winners of Group A and runners-up of Group B on Wednesday 20 July 2022.

Pre-sale for tickets is open on 13 July.

Next summer’s celebration of football sees tickets ranging from £5 to £50, with over half a million tickets available for £25 or less, ensuring the UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 is an accessible event for all. A family of four [two adults and two children] will be able to watch some of the world’s best players from just £30.

The first chance supporters will have to apply for tickets is on 13 July 2021, via the Pre-Sale, presented by Visa. To ensure this priority access, fans can register their interest now at UEFA.com/womenseuro/ticketing.

As part of their legacy Brighton & Hove will increase the percentage of schools engaged with the Girls Football School Partnerships, and grow the number of women and girls aged 15 and over playing affiliated football while retaining those already engaged in the game.

The city will also create a sustainable and diverse workforce of female leaders, coaches, volunteers and referees from secondary schools, colleges and universities across Sussex.

You can find out more about how the tournament will help drive positive change within girls and women’s football at www.TheFA.com/WEURO2022/legacy.

The Pre-Sale, presented by Visa, will run from 13 July until 10 August 2021. As part of the Pre-Sale, Visa cardholders will be given the opportunity to be among the first to purchase their tickets for the tournament, alongside fans that pre-register now at UEFA.com/womenseuro/ticketing.

The public ballot will open following the draw which takes place on 28 October 2021 live on BBC, with tickets going on general sale from mid-February 2022.

A ticket resale platform will be available in 2022 for ticket holders to use and re-sell their tickets at face value pre-tournament to another fan. More will be communicated in the coming months.

Although organisers are planning for full stadiums in summer 2022, a robust refund policy will be in place if fixtures are postponed, cancelled, have reduced capacity or a change of venue is introduced due to Covid-19.
