Women's FA Cup Final to be played at Coventry City

Coventry's Ricoh Arena has been selected to host this season's women's FA Cup final. It is the first time the stadium has been awarded the final and it comes just six months after it was chosen as the midlands venue for Olympics football in 2012.

Organisers are hoping the 32,609-capacity arena will attract the highest ever attendance for a domestic women's game in England, eclipsing the previous record of 29,092.

Over 17,000 watched last year's final at Nottingham Forest's City Ground as Everton Ladies beat Arsenal Ladies 3-2 after extra-time.

The encounter will take place on Saturday May 21.
