The FA have admitted they had to pay clubs to host matches for the Women’s Euros after ‘very few’ cities came forward during the bidding process.

The opening game will be played at Old Trafford and the final at Wembley, but there has been criticism over the limited capacity of some stadiums.

Leigh Sports Village, which will host three group matches and a quarter-final, only holds 8,000. Manchester City’s Academy, which has a capacity of just 4,700, will also host three group games. Both stadiums have standing sections which cannot be used due to UEFA guidelines.

Leigh Sports Village only holds 8,000 fans and the standing sections at the ground cannot be used during the women's European Championship this summer as per UEFA guidelines
