This summer will see Europe's top 16 nations battle it out for the women's European Championship. The tournament takes place in England from July 6 across 10 venues with the final at a sold-out Wembley stadium on July 31. The competition will feature hosts England, reigning champions Netherlands and eight-time winners Germany among others.

The latest edition of the UEFA Women’s European Championship takes place this summer.

England will host the 13th edition of the quadrennial tournament as Europe’s top sides go head-to-head in order to determine the top team in the continent.

The competition was set to take place in 2021, but due to the coronavirus pandemic of 2020 and postponement of other events, was held over to this year.
