City will enjoy a double header of world class football

Four of the world’s top 20 teams will be battling it out for the Arnold Clark Cup trophy when the tournament returns to England in February and Stadium MK, home of MK Dons, is set to host a double header.

Defending champions and UEFA Women’s Euro 2022 winners England will be joined by Italy, who are ranked fourteenth in World Football, twentieth ranked, Belgium, and Korea Republic, who are coached by former Republic of Ireland coach Colin Bell, in the round-robin tournament.

Each team will play as part of a double-header fixture at the 30,500 capacity Stadium MK in Milton Keynes on Thursday, February 16. First up is Italy v Belgium (kick-off 4.45pm) before England take on Korea Republic (kick-off 7.45pm).

Following a sensational summer of women’s football, where Stadium MK hosted four games in a record-breaking EURO 2022 tournament, the Arnold Clark Cup once again puts women’s football front and centre in Milton Keynes and tickets are expected to sell out, particularly as Leah Williamson, a Milton Keynes local, looks set to captain the European champions at Stadium MK.

The host nation, Euro 2022 champions and Arnold Clark Cup holders, England, will be hot favourites but will face the challenge of Korea Republic, who should have Ji So-Yun, who helped Chelsea lift eleven trophies in London, looking to cause an upset on her return to England.

General admission tickets are available from just £10 for adults and £5 for concessions whilst groups of nine or more can watch top-class international football at a reduced rate of 25% off.
Alternatively, it’s possible to watch the Arnold Clark Cup in style as hospitality tickets are available for both fixtures, offering the perfect opportunity to entertain clients or business associates, reward staff or just simply watch a major international tournament in a first-class environment.

A Private Box for 10 offers a unique experience for the Arnold Clark Cup couble header with stunning panoramic views of the pitch, ensuring you won’t miss a second of the action, and if you need to retreat to the comfort of your very own private box, you can do so whenever you please. What’s more, the Private Box package also offers luxury for up to 10 guests with a grazing buffet and premium beverages, inclusive of wines, beers and soft drinks.

The package will also include matchday programmes and parking is included. Fans can also support England whilst enjoying the Hospitality Suite in Stadium MK’s Pitchside Restaurant, with a welcome drink on arrival, a matchday programme, three course meal and half time tea, coffee and biscuits.
With the on-site DoubleTree by Hilton hotel at Stadium MK, football fans can head back to a comfy bed after a day of watching the best players in the world, taking the effort out of travelling.

There’s a choice of junior suites, family rooms and apartment suites, subject to availability. For more information visit their website here or call the box office on 01908 622933
