Big Match/Dates Diary

She Kicks’ standing diary slot lays out the fixtures and draws that will shape the summer of 2019, printed as the domestic season closes. The UEFA Under-19 elite round runs in two windows, 1-9 April and 10-18 June, either side of the tournament that dominates the issue: the FIFA Women’s World Cup, which starts on 7 June and finishes with the final on 7 July. Between them sit the Deaf EURO in Crete from 6-15 June, the Ynys Mon Tournament at the Island Games from 15-21 June, and the UEFA Women’s Champions League qualifying round draw on 21 June. The diary closes by looking past France to the Under-19 European Championship in Scotland from 16-28 July, giving readers a single calendar for a crowded international summer.
