England's Lionesses are set to play their first match at Everton's Hill Dickinson stadium, facing Ukraine in a World Cup qualifier on 09 June.
It will be the first time an England team has played at the Premier League club’s home since it opened in August 2025.
Hill Dickinson is also set to play a major role as a host venue for UEFA EURO 2028 and is among the 22 proposed stadiums included in the Home Nations’ bid to stage the 2035 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Sarina Wiegman said: “It is very exciting for us to be playing for the first time at Everton’s new stadium.
"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.
“Every game matters and this match will be the last in our qualification campaign.
"As always we'll give our very best to play at our highest level and put ourselves in the best possible place to finish the group strongly.”
