The Arnold Clark Cup returns in February for the second rendition of the invitational friendly tournament, with a new lineup of teams and stadiums.
England won the inaugural tournament in 2022, throwing Millie Bright up front in the dying stages to secure a last gasp victory over Germany and finish ahead of Spain and Canada in the final standings. Bright also secured an unlikely joint golden boot accolade with Ballon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas.
What will the 2023 Arnold Clark Cup have in store? Here’s everything you need to know about the tournament.
The 2023 Arnold Clark Cup takes place between Thursday 16 February and Wednesday 22 February 2023.
Fixture double headers take place across three dates: Thursday 16 February, Sunday 19 February and Wednesday 22 February.
The 2023 Arnold Clark Cup is once again being held in England. There are three stadiums being used for the 2023 Arnold Clark Cup: Stadium MK, the home of MK Dons, Coventry City’s CBS Arena and Bristol City’s Ashton Gate.
