Buy your tickets: North East derby set for Stadium of Light as SAFC Women take on visitors Newcastle United
Sunderland AFC Women will take on visitors Newcastle United Women this Sunday in one of the most highly anticipated fixtures of the Barclays WSL2 calendar.
A match that has produced magic moments and drawn record crowds in the past, the next chapter in one of football's greatest rivalries promises to be another to remember, both on and off the pitch.
The Black Cats will be hoping to put a dent in Newcastle’s playoff ambitions in front of their highest attendance of the season, with thousands due to cheer on the Lasses at the Stadium of Light.
New Zealand international and North East Football Writers’ Women’s Player of the Year Katie Kitching will be one to watch, as well as top scorer Emily Scarr and Manchester United loanee Mared Griffiths.
After their dramatic 3-2 victory against Durham in the River Wear derby last month, Sunderland Women will be keen to take their recent form into a match against their Tyneside rivals, and avenge the 3-1 defeat they suffered in the reverse fixture.
Newcastle count former England internationals Demi Stokes and Jordan Nobbs among their ranks, both of whom turned out for the Black Cats earlier in their careers.
There will be fun for all of the family in both Founders Bar and the stadium concourse from 12.30pm, with fanzone activities such as live music, facepainting, a pop-up display from the Sunderland Fans Museum and more.
Supporters can also enjoy this match in the comfort of hospitality, with premium packages available in Montgomery Suite.
Tickets come complete with a two-course Sunday dinner and a buzzing pre-match atmosphere, as well as some of the best seats in the house.
The WSL’s Fan Choice Pilot will also be in place, meaning fans can enjoy the unique experience of alcoholic drinks in their seats during the match.
With tickets starting from just £3 for children and £8 for adults, Sunday presents the perfect opportunity to get behind the Lasses on what will be Women's Football Weekend.
Tickets are available to purchase via the SAFC website.
Adults: £8 | Over65s: £6 | U22s: £3
