Newcastle United Women return to St. James' Park
Newcastle United Women have announced that the team’s second ever match at St. James' Park will take place on Sunday 27th November (kick-off 2pm GMT).
Becky Langley's side will host Bradford City in the FA National Women’s League Division One North and will be aiming for another huge attendance after more than 22,000 fans watched their inaugural match at the stadium in May 2022.
A total of 22,134 supporters witnessed a 4-0 victory for the Lady Magpies over Alnwick Town, setting an attendance record for a league match at all levels of the women’s game in the UK last season.
The fixture with Bradford City falls two weeks after the start of the Premier League’s break for the men’s FIFA World Cup in Qatar and will be the last chance for fans to watch live football at St. James’ Park until the festive period.
Newcastle United Women’s head coach, Becky Langley, said:
“We are thrilled to be back at St. James’ Park. The support we received at the stadium in May was incredible, and we hope as many supporters as possible can come along in November to make it another very special occasion.
“We are very proud to be championing women’s football in the region and that our players are such fantastic role models. This is a great opportunity to showcase women’s football in the North East and we hope to continue inspiring a new generation of girls and women to play and enjoy the game.”
