NYS to host Women's Euro qualifier

INTERNATIONAL football is returning to the AESSEAL New York Stadium in the spring.

England Women will take on Belgium in a Women's Euro 2017 qualifier on Friday, April 8 (7.55pm) after the success of previous similar matches.

Head coach Mark Sampson said: "Rotherham did a wonderful job when they hosted the FA Women's Super League Continental Tyres Cup Final. The stadium has excellent facilities and we know it will be a great location for the qualifier and the Lionesses fans will be out in force to support the team."

Millers chairman Tony Stewart said: "We have successfully held several high-profile international fixtures in the past, but we are stepping up a level as we host a Women's European Championship qualifier.

"There is huge interest in this fixture and we are honoured to have been chosen for such an important game in the England Women's calendar.

"Ticket sales were impressive for the FA WSL Continental Tyres Cup Final held last year, but with such importance riding on this fixture we are expecting an even bigger turnout from the Rotherham public."

Tickets are on sale now priced at £5 for adults and £2.50 for children.  A family ticket (two adults and two children) is available at £10 and group booking and charter standard discounts apply.
