A year latter than planned, the 13th edition of the UEFA European Women’s Championship is set to take place in England.
A coronavirus-related backlog pushed the tournament back 12 months but the good news is that it’s set to be the highlight of the footballing summer. England’s Lionesses were eliminated in the semi-finals five years ago and will fancy their chances of going all the way in front of a home crowd this summer.
WELCOME TO PADDY POWER NEWS
The tournament kicks off at Old Trafford on Wednesday, July 6 with England v Austria before concluding with the final at a sold out Wembley on the final day of the month.

Women’s Euro 2022 Favourites
Spain are Paddy’s current favourites to win Women’s Euro 2022, despite England hosting the tournament. Their squad is made up of numerous Barcelona stars including Alexia Putellas, Jennifer Hermoso and Aitana Bonmati. Barcelona Women won all 30 of their league games last season and went on to reach the Champions League final.
England are next in our betting for this summer’s tournament and Sarina Wiegman’s side will be confident of shining. Wiegman won the Women’s Euros in 2017 while in charge of Netherlands so she knows what’s needed to go all the way. Is it coming home?
Netherlands are the reigning champions after their 2017 triumph and their hopes are firmly pinned on Arsenal’s Vivianne Miedema. She is the all-time top scorer for her country and averages a goal in every start for the Gunners.
