England Reassured on Safety for Turkey Match

The Lionesses will play in Antalya at 17:00 GMT on Tuesday as Ukraine are unable to host matches in their home country due to the war with Russia. Despite concerns sparked by US-Iran tensions and attacks across the region, Wiegman confirmed they have received safety assurances from authorities.

'Yes, we did have reassurances. We are in close contact with the government and the people here that are responsible,' said Wiegman. The match comes as the conflict in Ukraine enters its fifth year, with the England manager expressing sadness at the circumstances.
