LONDON: England will host the women’s European Championship in 2021 with the final set for Wembley Stadium a year after the venue hosts the climax of the men’s edition, European soccer’s governing body UEFA announced on Monday. The Football Association’s (FA) bid to stage the tournament was unchallenged, granting the 2017 semi-finalists automatic qualification for the 16-team tournament as hosts. “England has been selected to host UEFA Women’s Euro 2021, with 16 teams to compete in July of that year,” UEFA said in a statement. The FA’s chief executive officer Martin Glenn said bringing the event to England was an opportunity to celebrate women’s soccer and help their efforts to grow the game. England hosted the smaller Women’s Euro 2005, which featured eight teams.
