EURO 2022 plans £800k cultural programme

UEFA Women’s EURO 2022, the women’s European football championship, will run a cultural programme alongside the tournament coming to England this summer.

The arts programme will be managed by the Football Association (FA) and is made possible through an £800,000 Arts Council England grant.

Three commissioned projects will harness culture to celebrate the history of women’s football, including an opportunity open to the public to create an original anthem for the championship.

“The combined forces of culture and sport have the power to improve lives, regenerate neighbourhoods, support local economies and bring people together nationally and internationally,” ACE Chief Executive Darren Henley said.
