The UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 Roadshow, supported by the BBC, demonstrates the
scale and importance of this summer’s event and is part of a wider drive to introduce new fans
to the women’s game to create a lasting legacy for women’s football – a key focus for UEFA
Women’s EURO 2022.
The free Roadshows will offer visitors an introduction to football, with a chance to learn
new football skills and tricks as well as try matchday presenting and interviewing in a special TV
studio. Featuring live music from local artists and a showpiece football pitch, alongside the
opportunity to get a picture with the trophy itself, each event will provide a variety of fun for all
the family.
Additionally, there will be lots of exciting opportunities to meet legends from the women’s
game, take part in interactive challenges and find out more about getting involved in grassroots
football, the tournament, and how to purchase tickets.
Former England international Faye White, who captained the Lionesses at two women’s
EURO championships, said: “UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 is going to be massive, unlike
anything we’ve ever seen before so it’s fantastic to see opportunities for everyone to get involved
and show their support. The roadshows are a fun way for families to try new skills, learn about
the tournament and experience the women’s game at the very highest level.”
UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 Tournament Director, Chris Bryant said: “The UEFA
Women’s EURO 2022 Roadshow is a huge part of our commitment in ensuring that everyone
can feel connected to this special tournament.
As we head towards the opening match in Trafford, excitement across the country is
growing, so it’s great to be able to provide an opportunity for communities to join each other in
supporting their local area and celebrating the women’s game.
We want to appeal to everyone, whether that be your regular football fan, or someone that
has never given it a go before! Each Roadshow event will offer a chance to learn about the
tournament in a fun environment, whilst trying out a few different skills from playing to
presenting and with live music thrown it, they promise to be a great free day out for all the family.”
Tournament organisers are also developing a series of exciting digital challenges as part
of the UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 Roadshow. The online challenges that will be launched on
17 May will provide people with a fun way to get involved and show their support for the
Tournament.
Female Only Coach Development
During the course of the season, Durham County FA have delivered three free Female Only
Coach Development Events that have been really well received, with over 55 female coaches
engaging in CPD. Following these successful events, we can now announce details of a third and
final event of the 2021/22 season.
This Coach Development Event will take place at Durham County FA on:
Monday 9th May, 6pm-8pm (5.30pm-6pm arrival/refreshments/networking).
This event will once again be FREE to attend.
The event will explore what motivation is; what impacts on player motivations; and what
we as coaches can do to support players motivation during training and games. Following a one
hour theory session, we will then take to the pitch where Durham CFA Coach Developers Andy
Brown and Rich Shuffleton will offer a range of practical ideas that can be used with your
players, to engage, excite and motivate!
All coaches in attendance will receive 2 hours of accredited CPD that will be logged in their
FA account. Additionally, coaches will receive a copy of the presentation and accompanying
session plans.
Book your place at the Durham County FA website.
