Albion chief executive and deputy chairman Paul Barber said: “We are absolutely delighted to be hosting another England international at our stadium.

“After hosting the World Cup qualifier against Montenegro almost five years ago, we saw the tremendous boost it had in helping to raise the profile of the women’s game across our region.

“We now have a proven track record of hosting England internationals at the stadium, having also welcomed the under-19s and under-21 teams.

“Hopefully we can attract as many fans from across the country as possible, and make it another occasion to remember.”
