Having won their opening two qualifiers, against Malta (8-0) and
Turkey (3-0), Hope Powell’s side currently sit second in Group Five,
six points behind Spain, but with two games in hand and this
double-header could go a long way to determining the outcome of the
group.
“It’s fantastic to be playing at two London venues,” said Powell.
“We haven’t had any games in the south for some time so we are
looking forward to playing in London for what will be two very
important games in our World Cup group.
“Playing at Millwall will be special to me on a personal note as I
started my career there and I still know people at the club. It will
be good to go back there for me and obviously the Spain game will be
a huge test for us and the home crowd will be vital.
“Loftus Road is a fantastic stadium as well, with really good
facilities, and the club has a good history with women’s football.
We will be looking for a good performance at QPR to kick-start this
double header.
“Playing across London for both games will hopefully attract a lot
of fans. We want them to come out in force and get behind the team
at both matches. Hopefully, we can put on two really good
performances and send them home happy.”
The Austria qualifier represents the first time an England
international has been staged at Loftus Road, though QPR did host
The FA Women’s Cup Final between Arsenal and Charlton Athletic in
2004.
Ali Russell, Deputy Managing Director at Queens Park Rangers FC,
said: “We are delighted to be hosting our first England Women’s
international match at Loftus Road.
“The fact that the match is an important World Cup qualifier makes
the occasion even more special for everyone connected to Queens Park
Rangers Football Club. Loftus Road is a very intimate stadium and if
we get the good crowd that we are hoping for, then the atmosphere
will be fantastic.”
Millwall hosted a FIFA Women’s World Cup Qualifier between England
and Germany in 1998 and the Den has also hosted three FA Women’s Cup
Finals, in 1996, 1998 and 2006.
Millwall chief executive, Andy Ambler, said: “We are very much
looking forward to this game. The standard of women’s football in
this country is improving all the time, and we hope that Millwall
can help further raise its profile.
“The promising youngsters who attend our Girls Academy, in addition
to numerous local schoolchildren, members of our local community and
of course Lions fans, will enjoy getting behind England and
hopefully cheering them to victory against Spain.”
