Women’s Football Lionesses to wrap up Nations League campaign with Portugal clash at Wembley

SARINA WIEGMAN’S England will welcome Portugal to Wembley for their final home Nations League match on Friday, May 30.

The Lionesses start their home fixtures at Wembley on February 26 against Spain, in a rematch of the 2023 World Cup final.

Wiegman’s European champions will also host Belgium at Bristol’s Ashton Gate on Friday, April 4.

Wiegman said: “Wembley Stadium has become a special home for the Lionesses.

“To play our final home game of the Nations League here whilst both the team and the fans are gearing up for the Euros this summer makes it even more exciting.

“The support is always fantastic in our ‘home’ and I hope we can count on the support of our fans again and finish in style.

“We’re also looking forward to returning to Bristol. Taking the team across the country is always important to us and we had a great experience the last time we played there.

“We have seen how the people in Bristol have celebrated women’s sports recently so I hope we will get a similar warm welcome again.”

The meeting with Group A3 opponents Portugal will be the first meeting of the teams since the World Cup send-off at Milton Keynes which ended in a goalless draw.
