The Lionesses will host Ukraine in their Women's World Cup qualifier at the Hill Dickinson Stadium in June.

Sarina Wiegman's side will become the first England team to play at Everton's new stadium on Tuesday, 9 June (20:00 GMT kick-off) since it opened last summer.

Scotland are also facing the Ivory Coast at the stadium on 31 March to prepare for this summer's men's World Cup.

Hill Dickinson Stadium is one of the host venues for Euro 2028 and is currently shortlisted as part of the UK bid for the 2035 Women's World Cup.

Two-time European champions England are bidding for a place at the 2027 Women's World Cup and are in a qualifying group with Spain, Ukraine and Iceland.

They take on Ukraine in Turkey next Tuesday (17:00 GMT), before welcoming Iceland to the City Ground on Saturday, 7 March (12:30 GMT).

Their first meeting with defending champions Spain – who they beat in the Euro 2025 final – is on 14 April at Wembley Stadium.

"It is very exciting for us to be playing for the first time at Everton's new stadium," said Wiegman.

"We have always said that taking this team around the country is so important and we're really looking forward to playing in front of fans in the north-west.

"The city of Liverpool has a rich football history with many connections to the Lionesses over the years, so it will be a very special evening."
