UEFA Women’s Euro 2022 organisers have announced plans for a free national roadshow.

The event will showcase the best of football, fitness and music, providing families, fans and those that are yet to experience football with the opportunity to get involved in an unmissable tournament.

The family and local community-focused Roadshow will travel 800 miles, making 10 stops across 43 days, arriving at Hove Promenade on June 25 and finishing on 2 July in London – just a few days before the tournament’s opening match at Old Trafford.

As the Women’s Euro draws closer, organisers are aiming to inspire more communities, particularly young people and families, to encourage them to get involved in the biggest European women’s sport event in history.

The schedule includes each of the tournament’s nine host cities, including Brighton & Hove.

The free Roadshow will offer visitors an introduction to football, with a chance to learn new football skills and tricks as well as try matchday presenting and interviewing in a special BBC studio.

Featuring live music from local artists and a showpiece football pitch, alongside the opportunity to get a picture with the trophy itself, each event will provide a variety of fun for all the family.

UEFA Women’s Euro 2022 Tournament Director, Chris Bryant, said:

“Excitement across the country is growing, so it’s great to be able to provide an opportunity for communities to join each other in supporting their local area and celebrating the women’s game.

"Each event will offer a chance to learn about the tournament in a fun environment, while trying out a few different skills from playing to presenting and with live music thrown in.”

Tickets are on sale now for fans to experience a history making tournament that aims to unite football and communities and amplify the growth of the women’s game.
