Who are the reigning champions?
Holland won the last tournament in 2017 and will be among the favorites next summer, along with Germany, France, Spain, Sweden and host England. On top of that, Denmark were the runners-up five years ago and have significant pedigree in the women’s game, while Norway have been in six finals, won the competition twice, and Italy are improving.
Who has the best record in the tournament?
Germany was historically by far the most dominant team and won a record eight European titles (out of a possible 12). England reached the semi-finals in 2017 and were beaten as finalists in both 2009 and 1984.

Which venues will be used?
Brighton’s Community Stadium, St Mary’s Stadium MK, Brentford Community Stadium, Bramall Lane, Leigh Sports Village, New York Stadium, Manchester Academy Stadium, Old Trafford and Wembley.
In total, there are 10 stadiums in nine host cities.
The cities are going to be “transformed”, thanks in part to the fact that Arts Council England has allocated £ 800k to the Euros to run an arts and culture program alongside the tournament, which is funded by the National Lottery.
Tournament organizers have come under fire for their choice of venues, with Man City’s Academy Stadium having just 7,000 fans on capacity.
Where will the final be played?
Wembley Stadium on 31 July.
