The England Women’s national team is preparing for a high-stakes showdown at Hill Dickinson Stadium this Tuesday night as have a World Cup 2027 qualification match against Ukraine, which kicks off at 8 pm.
To mark only the second international football fixture ever hosted at the venue, fans have been invited to ignite the pre-match atmosphere early by gathering to orchestrate a loud and passionate reception for the arriving squads.
The club has designated the Mersey-facing Western Wharf as the primary gathering point, where the built-in stepped terrace offers an ideal viewing vantage point for supporters looking to cheer on the players as they disembark.
Spectators can gain entry to this waterfront viewing area by following the outer stadium perimeter paths located at the far edges of both the North and South Stands, with the arrival times strictly scheduled ahead of the match.
The Ukrainian team transportation is anticipated to pull up at approximately 6:20 pm, with manager Sarina Wiegman and her England squad arriving shortly afterwards at around 6:30 pm.
Because safety parameters mean the Western Terrace has a strict attendance cap, entry will be managed on a strict first-come, first-served basis, and stewards will completely shut off access to the area the moment it fills up.
Supporters are actively invited to deck the terrace out with home-made banners and national flags to ensure the environment is as visually striking and energetic as possible for the players.
However, stadium officials have issued a firm reminder that all forms of pyrotechnics, including handheld flares, smoke canisters, and smoke grenades, remain entirely banned across all areas of the stadium premises.
Remaining tickets for this international qualification fixture are still available to buy online here.

Adding to the pre-game excitement, iconic former Everton midfielder and Euro-winning legend Jill Scott MBE is scheduled to arrive at the Western Wharf just before the main teams as she completes the gruelling second leg of her charity fundraiser for Comic Relief and Sport Relief.
The legendary midfielder is expected to finish her day’s transit on the wharf at 6:10pm, concluding an exhausting 99-mile cycling stint that began at Aston Villa and targeted the Merseyside stadium as its endpoint.
