England Overview

Winners & losers from the Lionesses key WWC qualifiers

Advantage, England. This international break was always going to feel decisive in the race between the Lionesses and Spain to secure the only automatic qualification spot for next year’s Women’s World Cup available in this cut-throat qualifying group, and it was the reigning European champions, rather than the world champions, who came out on top.

Who are the Lionesses' all-time top goalscorers?

England's Lionesses have always had great goalscorers. Even before the team was the major contender it is now, winning back-to-back European Championships under Sarina Wiegman and reaching a first Women's World Cup final, they could boast some incredible attacking talent, with Arsenal icon Kelly Smith, widely considered the Lionesses' greatest ever player, a prime example.

Who are the Lionesses' most capped players?

England women's national team has enjoyed a lot of success in recent years, winning the European Championships in 2022 and 2025 while also reaching the 2023 Women's World Cup final, and those involved in those successes in Sarina Wiegman's side are now starting to creep into the record books when it comes to caps, as well as trophies.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to travel to the City Ground?

The best way to travel to the City Ground is by public transportation or on foot, with parking limited around the stadium and surrounding residential areas. Nottingham railway station, served by the National Rail network, is within walking distance of the stadium.

In addition, the City Ground is served by buses and trams on matchdays, with Meadows Embankment the nearest stop for the latter service. To find out more information, check the club’s website.

How hard is it to get Nottingham Forest tickets?

With all season tickets for Nottingham Forest being sold out, you can expect getting matchday tickets to be fairly difficult, with home match tickets being allocated to members and season ticket holders first.

Midweek and cup games are likely to be a little easier to get hold of tickets, with tickets going on sale for members when they're available.

Can I buy Nottingham Forest tickets without a membership?

Only in occasional circumstances do Nottingham Forest tickets become available to those without a membership.

You'll find most games sell out in advance of the match, but if you're lucky, they might become available on the official Nottingham Forest website.

If you can't get your hands on non-member tickets, you can also head to secondary resale sites like StubHub and Ticombo with tickets starting from £70.
