This is your chance to see the most exciting team in Women’s football live in action, as Spurs Women take on reigning champions Chelsea in the WSL at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday 8th February, 2.25pm kick-off.
Spurs Women are on an unstoppable rise to the top of the women’s game – having only been formed as grassroots team Broxbourne Ladies 41 years ago and now fighting to qualify for the UEFA Women’s Champions League for the first time in their history.
This is on the back of having narrowly avoided relegation from the WSL in 2024/25 – an incredible turnaround orchestrated by new Head Coach, Martin Ho, who is building a brave and passionate squad of young, hungry players aiming for greatness.
Ho’s side currently sit just three points off the Champions League qualification places and now ready to face their toughest test yet.
The all-conquering Chelsea Women – who are themselves on a run of six consecutive Women’s Super League titles – visit the magnificent Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for what promises to be a momentous occasion.
Spurs are further buoyed by a number of exciting new player arrivals, including 20-year-old Norwegian starlet Signe Gaupset, who has already made an instant impact in Lilywhite and is one of the most highly-rated young talents in European women’s football. The club has also brought in fellow Norwegian international Julie Blakstad and young Swedish talents Matilda Nilden and Hanna Wijk.
The mouth-watering clash takes place at London’s biggest club stadium – with tickets priced at just £15 for adults, £5 juniors and Premium experiences from £25 – and will be an enjoyable occasion for all the family.
Chelsea’s visit is one of three Spurs Women matches taking place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this season, with Everton Women visiting on Sunday 15th March and Manchester United visiting on
Sunday 26th April. Get your tickets now from tottenhamhotspur.com
