SAINTS fans can get their hands on free tickets for an upcoming clash against a London team.
In a show of support for women’s football thousands of free tickets are on offer.
The local team will face off against Tottenham Hotspur FC Women in the Conti Cup on Sunday, December 18.
Fans will be treated to performances from the Saints brass band and the club’s resident DJ at St Mary’s Stadium.
Southampton FC is on a mission to encourage more fans to support the women’s game and has seen a 120 per cent increase in season ticket sales compared to last season.
As part of this drive to grow the women’s game, all Southampton FC Women’s games will be played at St Mary’s Stadium.
So far this season, in the four matches played at St Mary’s, the team has seen average attendance figures of 2,900 with ambitions to continue that growth.
The giveaway is being supported by Starling Bank to help the club achieve record attendance for a women’s game.
The record currently stands at 5,145 for the team’s match against Portsmouth FC on April 20.
Sarah Batters, director of marketing and partnerships at Southampton Football Club, said “As a club, we are committed to growing the women’s game with Starling Bank’s support.
“By giving away free tickets for the upcoming women’s match against Tottenham Hotspur, we want to reach a new audience and encourage the public’s ongoing support to ensure the Lionesses’ legacy lives on post-Euros.
“We hope people will be inspired to come down for a fantastic experience with their family and friends, and that we’ll welcome a record crowd on the day.”
