Norwich City have confirmed that England Women will take on the Republic of Ireland at Carrow Road in July, as part of their UEFA Women's EURO 2025 qualifying campaign.

In a statement on their website the club say, "The reigning European champions are in Group A3 and are set to take on Sweden at Wembley Stadium in April, France at St James’ Park, Newcastle, in May, before returning to Norwich for the fixture with the Republic of Ireland on Friday, July 12."

The Lionesses became European champions back in July 2022 with a 2-1 defeat of Germany at Wembley.

Head coach Sarina Wiegman said: “In all, it’s going to be an exciting qualification campaign against three top opponents. I’m sure the fans are looking forward to the games and it’s really nice that we’re playing our three home games in really special venues in different parts of England.

“Wherever we play in the country we have such fantastic support and I’m sure these games in London, Newcastle and Norwich will be no different. We will need to show up and perform but there’s no doubt the fans can help us.”

Tickets for the Carrow Road fixture will be confirmed at a later date.

The team return to Norwich after their 0-0 draw during the 2022 Arnold Clark Cup against Spain.

Games will be televised by ITV Sport and take place in the evening with kick-off times to be confirmed prior to tickets going on sale.

In all, 15 nations will be bidding to join hosts Switzerland at UEFA Women’s EURO 2025. The top two nations in the four League A groups will all automatically qualify for the Finals, with a further seven places available via the play-offs.
