The premier Women’s international competition in European football, the Women’s EURO 2022, is set to begin in England from July 7 (as per IST). The tournament last happened in 2017 and was postponed due to the COVID-19 outbreak last year.

In July, it returns with the host England locking horns against Austria in Manchester. Defending champion Netherlands will start its campaign against 1984 EURO winner Sweden in a Group C clash.

The Dutch, however, will be without its head coach Sarina Wiegman who will be in charge of England in hopes to steer the two-time finalist to its maiden European Championship.
