Leicester to host World Cup Send Off for Red Roses

Leicester will play host to the Red Roses for the second time in 2025 when England take on Spain on August 2.

After the successful Six Nations matchday featuring England and Scotland last month, which was attended by more than 15,000 fans, the Red Roses will return to Mattioli Woods Welford Road to prepare for the 2025 Women's Rugby World Cup.

The match will be the perfect World Cup send off for supporters ahead of England's bid to become world champions. 

Tickets are now on sale from only £15 for adults and just £5 for kids 15 and under. Family tickets are also available for £35. 

Speaking about the confirmation of the Test fixture, Leicester Tigers CEO Andrea Pinchen said: "We are very excited about being able to bring another international game to Leicester and have the Red Roses back at the home of Tigers for the second time in 2025."

"The whole rugby community is behind the Red Roses heading into the Women's Rugby World Cup and, to be able to add this game to our fixtures calendar is great for not only our supporters but the game as a whole.

"Our venue has played host to some memorable moments over the years and, in recent times, that has included some brilliant matchdays featuring the Red Roses, which we are confident will be the case come August for this fixture."
