Sarina Wiegman’s Lionesses will be looking to close the gap on Sweden for second place in Group 3 on Friday evening (KO 8pm). Sweden take on leaders France in the group's other fixture; three points for Les Bleues would see them win the group with a game to play and qualify for the 2025 tournament in Switzerland. **Visiting Carrow Road on Friday night** The stadium will open at 6pm for hospitality and 6.30pm for general admission. The Lion and Castle pub will be open for pre-match drinks for supporters with tickets in the Lower Barclay ONLY, and will open to all supporters post-match.

The Norwich City club shop will be operating on extended hours, closing its doors 30 minutes after full-time.
