England's Lioness footballers make Tube announcements on historic day for WSL
Some of England’s best known Lioness footballers will be making announcements at London Tube stations on a historic day for the Women’s Super League.
Voices of Alex Greenwood, Bethany England, Lotte Wubben-Moy and Lucy Bronze will be broadcast at Fulham Broadway, Seven Sisters and White Hart Lane on Saturday.
The collaboration with Transport for London comes as all games in Barclays Women's Super League and Barclays Women's Championship will be played in main stadiums for the first time.
This includes Spurs hosting Arsenal at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium and Chelsea playing Manchester City at Stamford Bridge.
Alongside these messages from England's finest, whiteboard messages will highlight the games and the upcoming official launch of the London Overground Lioness line - which will rebrand the Watford Junction to Euston branch.
Deputy Mayor for Transport, Seb Dance, said: "I'm thrilled that TfL has partnered with Barclays Women's Super League to celebrate this historic weekend for women's football and mark the launch of the London Overground Lioness line.
“The line running from Watford to Euston commemorates the England women's football team's unforgettable Euros win in 2022, which sparked a step change in attitudes towards women's football all around the country and changed the football landscape forever.
"I hope fans enjoy this special weekend and reflect on how women's football continues to thrive, inspire and unite communities."
Brighton host West Ham in the other Saturday clash while on Sunday Aston Villa play Crystal Palace while Everton take on Liverpool in the Merseyside derby.
Later this week, Arsenal will play Juventus at the Emirates Stadium in the women’s Champions League.
The Gunners sold 40,000 tickets for their season opener versus Manchester City at their home ground in September.
Emma Strain, customer director at TfL, said “We hope that fans travelling to these matches will take a moment to appreciate how women's sport continues to grow, inspire and bring communities together."
