The Hill Dickinson Stadium is set to play host to the Lionesses as they bid to qualify for the 2027 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
The ground itself is only a year old, having officially held its first test match in February in 2025. It’s located to the north of Liverpool City Centre and boasts an impressive capacity of exactly 52,769 seats. It will be the ground’s second international fixture this year, with Côte d’Ivoire set to face Scotland there in preparation for the men’s World Cup later this summer
The news was confirmed by the FA earlier this week that the Lionesses will take on Ukraine in a Women’s World Cup qualifier on the 8th of June 2026 with kick-off scheduled for 20:00, as England look to book their spot at the competition.
With this fixture being confirmed, it is the first England international game to be played at the new home of Everton since it opened. It has previously hosted one Barclays Women’s Super League fixture so far, between Everton and Manchester United back in October 2025.
The last time the Lionesses played up in the North-West was on their homecoming tour in October 2025 at the Etihad Stadium in their first match after Euro 2025. In which, they were narrowly defeated 2-1 vs reigning Copa America champions Brazil.
With England facing the world champions, Spain, just four days earlier in the away tie with details of the game still yet to be confirmed, it will be a crunch match to decide qualification, and tickets go on sale to England members from Friday the 27th of February until March 4th before any remaining tickets go on general sale on March 5th onwards.
