- Aston Villa Women Vs. Arsenal Women – Sun, Mar 24th 2024, 18:45
Arsenal are the visitors to Villa Park on Sunday as Aston Villa’s Barclays WSL campaign continues.
Carla Ward’s team take on the Gunners in B6 having beaten Everton last time out.
Sunday also represents our dedicated International Women’s Day fixture.
Aston Villa Football Club fully supports International Women’s Day, this year and every year. When we inspire others to understand and value women’s inclusion, we forge a better world. And when women themselves are inspired to be included, there’s a sense of belonging, relevance, and empowerment. Collectively, let’s forge a more inclusive world for women.
Here’s everything you need to know to enjoy your visit to the stadium on matchday.
