Women's 2005 European Championship Final Draw

The FA - Women's 2005 European Championship Final Draw News

The England Women's National Side will meet Finland, Denmark and Sweden in Group A while Group B features European and World champions Germany plus France, Norway and Italy.

Hope Powell's England international female team will kick off the tournament on Sunday 5 June with a match against Finland at the City of Manchester Stadium, where Wednesday's draw was held.

Hope Powell ::
I'm very happy with the draw said the National Coach. "I'm glad it's over and we can step up our preparations knowing who we'll be up against in our group.

"The opening game suits us and I'm looking forward to us playing in the magnificent City of Manchester Stadium, hopefully in front of a big crowd.

"Getting strong support from England fans will certainly help the girls, who know we have a tough task but who will be as pleased with the draw as I am.

"It is good to have avoided Germany, who we've never beaten. It is also good for the tournament that the Germans and Sweden have been drawn in separate groups."

Sweden, runners-up to Germany at both the Women's Euro 2001 and the 2003 World Cup, will be favourites to win Group A.

England Blog Comment :: I will be keeping a closer eye on the England women's team in the future. As time goes on I will improve my knowledge of the England national ladies.

Hopefully the England women can do well in the women's 2005 European championship Finals. The ladies are on home soil. Let's hope they can win something for England. Show the England men how to do it.
