See main article: Old Trafford. Old Trafford hosted the Women's World Cup final for the first time. The ground has hosted the men's final twice in 2000, 2013, and hosted the 2021 Men's Final as well.[1] [2] It was confirmed as the venue to host the final on 10 June 2020, when the fixture for the event was released.[3]
The ground is often used for major rugby league matches, being the primary venue for the annual Super League Grand Final, which is the championship-deciding game of Britain's Super League competition, and top-tier test matches such as the Kangaroo tour and the now-defunct Four Nations.[4]
The ground is the home stadium of English football team Manchester United, and has a capacity of 74,310,[5] which makes it the largest club football stadium (second-largest football stadium overall after Wembley Stadium, and third largest on total with the rugby union Twickenham Stadium coming in second) in the United Kingdom, and the eleventh-largest in Europe.[6]
