England to face Latvia in Doncaster in November | OneFootball

England’s FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia New Zealand 2023 qualifier against Latvia will be staged at the Keepmoat Stadium in Doncaster, The Football Association have announced.

The Lionesses will welcome Latvia to the home of Doncaster Rovers on Tuesday 30 November with the match kicking-off at 7pm. The game will be England’s fourth qualifier on home soil and comes just three days after Sarina Wiegman’s side take on Austria at The Stadium of Light in Sunderland.

The Football Association announced the news via an official press release this lunchtime. Tickets have already gone on sale to My England Football members while general sale will commence at midday tomorrow.

Speaking following today’s announcement, England head coach Wiegman said “We are excited to visit the Keepmoat Stadium at the end of the year. Visiting another great venue in the north of England is hopefully welcome news for our many supporters in the region.

“Doncaster Rovers Belles are one of the most famous names in women’s football in this country and have a great history that I am learning all about. The same is true of Sunderland and it’s astonishing just how many of our current England players started their careers in Yorkshire and the North East.

“Hopefully our visits to Sunderland and Doncaster will not only attract a lot of supporters but will also inspire the next generation of England hopefuls from both regions. We can’t wait to visit in November, but of course before then we have two important fixtures to look forward to, starting next Saturday at Wembley Stadium against Northern Ireland. All in all, it’s going to be a very exciting way to round off 2021.”

Tickets remain on general sale for England’s upcoming FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia New Zealand 2023 qualifier against Northern Ireland at Wembley and can be purchased on The Football Association’s ticketing portal.
