Women's Football: Houghton wants big crowd against Bosnia

ENGLAND will take on Bosnia in their first home fixture since reaching the semi-finals of the World Cup, it was announced yesterday.

The Euro 2017 qualifier takes place at Bristol Academy’s new Ashton Gate Stadium on November 29 and will be the first time fans will be able to see the national side on home turf.

The Lionesses captured the hearts of millions on their remarkable run in Canada which saw them inches away from reaching the final and defeating Germany in the third-placed play-off and captain Steph Houghton is hoping that supporters show up to cheer the side on.
