A CHESHIRE luxury spa and hotel will be the base for this year's favourites in the UEFA Women's Euro 2022 football championship.

Carden Park Estate, located on Broxton Road, on the outskirts of Chester, has announced it will be accommodating the Swedish national women’s team during the tournament, which is taking place in England this summer.

Situated within the picturesque Cheshire Countryside, the football team will have their own exclusive wing in the hotel (a quarter of the building) for almost three weeks during summer.

With its very own UEFA-approved football pitch of the highest quality (where many international and UK teams have played), the team will train right on the Carden Park grounds.

On their decision to stay at Carden Park Estate, head of delegation and national manager Marika Domanski Lyfors said: “We have a really good feeling about our base camp of Carden Park Estate.

"We’re thrilled to have our own part of the hotel where the team can relax privately between games and it’s great that we can have some of our training sessions right on the grounds - these have both been important factors of our selection phase.

"We can’t wait to work together with Carden Park to create the best conditions for our team towards a hopeful victory this summer!”
