Delayed from 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic of 2020, 16 teams will fight it out from July 6 until the July 31 final at Wembley Stadium in London.

Group A England The Lionesses come in as one of the favourites on home soil and with three successive semi-finals in their last three tournaments, there is no better opportunity to go one better and lift a first major trophy. Manager Sarina Wiegman successfully lead her native Netherlands to the title in 2017 – beating England along the way – so all the elements are in place for football to ‘come home’ at Wembley on July 31.

Austria Unbeaten in their five previous European Championship matches, Austria’s only blemish in the competition is a penalty shootout defeat to Denmark in the semi-final of their debut tournament in 2017. Captained by recently released Arsenal defender Viktoria Schnaderbeck, Austria will come into the tournament as outsiders once again but won’t be taken for granted following their surprise run five years prior.
