Well, folks, football fever has returned to the city once again. That’s because the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 championship is well and truly underway, and only one game stands between England and victory! After a nervy penalty shootout, England got through to the semi-final, where they then beat Italy 2-1. On Sunday, July 27, we’ll take on Spain to see who wins the whole tournament. It’s set to be a tense but merry night.
It’s the 14th edition of the quadrennial event (meaning it takes place every four years). But it’s only been three years since the last championship, which was delayed from 2021 to 2022 due to Covid. After this year’s event, the Women’s EURO will return to its usual schedule.
Now, we’ve got a reputation to protect in the wake of the success of the women’s England team in 2022, who stormed their way to victory in their first major final since 2009. So if you’re keen to cheer the Lionesses on to victory, here’s where you can go:
1. Hackney Bridge, Hackney Wick
Hackney Bridge is back this summer and raring to go for a summer of sports, which obviously means screening all the Women’s EURO action. They’ve got you sorted with their impressive outdoor screen and a plethora of food and drink options to keep you fed and watered during the match. And no matter where you are in the outdoor yard, the sheer size of the screen means you’ll be sorted no matter where you’re watching from. No bookings required, just turn up and grab a table in the garden or indoor bar and catch the action.
