Details of a Fan Zone prior to Arsenal Game
As part of their pre-season preparations, Sheffield FC Ladies have managed to secure an exciting friendly match against the most successful women's football team in the country over the past decade.
Arsenal Ladies, the reigning FA Women's Cup champions, will play Sheffield's leading women's team on Sunday 10 August 2014, kick off 2pm, at the Home of Football Ground, Sheffield Road, Dronfield, S18 2GD.
Arsenal last played in Sheffield seven years ago, so this is a rare and fantastic opportunity to see some of the country's best women players at close quarters, and we would encourage all female football players to get down to the ground and support the occasion. Tickets are just £3 for adults, and £1.50 for all concessions, and can be purchased at any of the Club's matches between now and 10 August, or at the turnstiles on the day.
Prior to the match, Sheffield & Hallamshire County FA is to run a Fan Zone from 12pm which will offer all sorts of activities for kids to take part in such as face-painting, loom bands making, penalty shoot out competition, keepy up challenge, hair-braiding and much more.
There's also a chance to meet some of the players, and have your photo taken with the three trophies won by Sheffield FC Ladies last season, including the FA Women's Premier League Cup.
A signed Arsenal Ladies shirt will be raffled off on the day, so get down early to buy your tickets and be in with a chance of winning a unique piece of football memorabilia.
