The England women’s national football team is scheduled to play Ukraine at Wembley Stadium on December 5 to determine a spot in the 2027 Women’s World Cup in Brazil.
The Lionesses secured their place in the final playoff round following an 8-1 aggregate victory over Greece, which included a 3-1 away win and a 5-0 victory at Leicester City’s King Power Stadium. In the upcoming matchup, England will play the first leg away against Ukraine at a yet-to-be-confirmed venue before returning home for the decisive second leg at Wembley.
England coach Sarina Wiegman highlighted the significance of playing at Wembley in front of home supporters for a World Cup berth. The two teams are already familiar with each other, having previously met in June when England defeated Ukraine 3-0 in Liverpool, following an earlier 6-1 victory in Turkey. The 2027 Women’s World Cup is scheduled to run from June 24 to July 25 across eight host cities.
