ENGLAND WOMEN’S record-breakers make their eagerly-anticipated return to home soil at Middlesbrough’s Riverside Stadium next month – and here’s your chance to be there.

After the Lionesses’ World Cup semi-final against eventual winners, USA, attracted 11.7million domestic TV viewers in July – an unprecedented audience for women's football in the UK – it’s no surprise tickets have been flying out the door for Brazil’s visit to Teesside on Saturday, October 5 (ko 12.45pm).

The North of England has proved a hotbed for women’s football talent, producing the likes of skipper Steph Houghton (South Hetton), Carly Telford (Newcastle), Demi Stokes (South Shields), Lucy Bronze (Berwick-upon-Tweed), Beth Mead (Whitby), Rachel Daly (Harrogate), Lucy Staniforth (York) and Georgia Stanway (Barrow-in-Furness).

This will be Phil Neville’s side’s first home match since their fourth-place finish at France 2019 and The Northern Echo has teamed up with The Football Association to offer you the chance to be part of a bumper Riverside crowd.

We’ve got two family tickets up for grabs, which each include two adults and two concession tickets.

To win one of the family tickets, simply answer the following question:

Who is the captain of the England Women’s team?

Email your answer, along with an address and daytime telephone number to echosport@nne.co.uk. Entries close at 5pm on Friday, September 20 and the editor’s decision is final.

Tickets for the visit of the South American champions are priced £7.50 adults (advanced rate) and just £1 for concessions. After September 18, standard adult tickets are £10.

Interest in the women’s national team has never been higher, with over 65,000 tickets already sold for the Lionesses’ following fixture against Germany at Wembley on November 9 (ko 5.30pm).

Neville said: “I’m delighted we’ll be playing in the North-East, a real footballing hotbed that has produced so many of our players over the years. Brazil will provide a different test to the other games we have lined up and it is always a special occasion when our two countries meet.”

England will be hoping to make it three successive wins inside a year against Brazil. Mead’s strike earned a 2-1 victory at the SheBelieves Cup in the USA in February, just four months after Fran Kirby grabbed the only goal of the game at Notts County.

The fixture will also aid Neville’s early preparations for the UEFA Euro 2021 finals on home soil and provide vital experience for Team GB planning for next summer’s Olympic Games in Tokyo.
