We’ll also hear from England stars Karen Bardsley and Ellen White before the game inside the stadium, plus Baroness and Head of Women’s Football Sue Campbell CBE.
City Square will be open from 1pm, where we’ll host a range of fun activities, such as table tennis, football skills challenges and more!
Get yourselves down to the Blue Carpet Experience too, where you can see the players arrive at the Etihad Stadium!
The Blue Carpet at West Reception will start at 1:15pm and there’ll be tonnes of entertainment with a live DJ, women’s team quiz and prizes to be won, including passes to high-five the players, a signed hero photo and a full squad signed shirt!
There’ll also be a pizza giveaway and our Official Supporters Club will be presented with an official plaque to celebrate their unwavering support and loyalty.
