After the Lionesses’ World Cup semi-final against eventual winners the USA attracted 11.7million domestic TV viewers in July – an unprecedented audience for women's football in the UK – it’s no surprise tickets have been flying out the door for Brazil’s visit to Teesside on Saturday, October 5 (ko 12.45pm).

The north of England has proved a hotbed for women’s football talent, producing the likes of skipper Steph Houghton (born in Durham), Carly Telford (Newcastle), Jill Scott (Sunderland), Demi Stokes (South Shields), Lucy Bronze (Berwick-upon-Tweed), Beth Mead (Whitby), Rachel Daly (Harrogate), Lucy Staniforth (York) and Georgia Stanway (Barrow-in-Furness).

Neville said: “I’m delighted we’ll be playing in the North East, a real footballing hotbed that has produced so many of our players over the years. Brazil will provide a different test to the other games we have lined up and it is always a special occasion when our two countries meet.”

England will be hoping to make it three successive wins inside a year against Brazil. Mead’s strike earned a 2-1 victory at the SheBelieves Cup in the USA in February, just four months after Fran Kirby grabbed the only goal of the game at Notts County.
