BBC to show European Women’s Championship football games
The BBC is to broadcast live coverage of the 2013 European Women’s Championship – which will take place in Sweden in July.
The deal will see live coverage of all England’s matches, both semi-finals and the final shown across BBC Two and BBC Three. Other non-english peak time games will be broadcast also on BBC Three.
BBC Director of Sport Barbara Slater said: “We’re delighted to be adding the UEFA European Women’s Championship to our portfolio of women’s sport.” The response to women’s football at London 2012 showed that there is a strong appetite for it. We look forward to bringing our audiences the excitement and drama of another major tournament.”
The event takes place between the 10th – 28th of July.
