Women's Euros to be shown on park's big screen

Jersey Screening said it was showing the quarter final between England and Sweden on Thursday evening

The UEFA Women's Euro 2025 will be returning to the big screen in Jersey on Thursday.

Jersey Screenings said the quarter final between England and Sweden would be shown on the giant screen at Howard Davis Park at 20:00 BST.

The company said it was part of a series of free screenings for families and football fans.

It said the big screen was 6m wide and 4m tall and the area was an alcohol-free space with no glass allowed.

Jersey Screenings said islanders could bring their own picnic food and soft drinks

However Jersey Screening, funded by Connect Me and the International Cultural Centre, said islanders could bring in picnic food and soft drinks.

It also said the semi-finals and the final would be shown on the LED screen on 22, 23 and 27 July.

While tickets are free, the company said families would need to reserve their spots online before arriving to the fan zone, which opens 45 minutes before the games start.

Co-organiser Bino Rodrigues said it was important for the company to support the Lionesses.

"We wanted to bring the community together to watch some great football," he said.

"The Lionesses have been doing great and have got to the quarter finals and I think its fitting to show it in a great park, but also to give women the same spotlight that the men get."

Mr Rodrigues said he hopes the screening inspires many boys and girls, adding it was a great sporting tournament.

He added: "I hope will lead to them aspiring to be footballers – or any other sport."

The company added there would also be a collection to donate to the domestic abuse charity FREEDA.
