Continental Cup final 2022/23 venue revealed | OneFootball

Crystal Palace's Selhurst Park has been announced as the venue for the final of the 2022/23 Continental Cup final.

The final will take place on Sunday 5 March, kicking off at 3pm, and will be broadcast on the BBC.

Manchester City are the current holders of the competition, coming from behind to beat Chelsea 3-1 at Plough Lane last season to lift the trophy for the third time.

A crowd of 8,004 were in attendance at Plough Lane last term - a record attendance for a Conti Cup final - and Selhurst's Park 25,456 capacity puts the 2022/23 final in a strong position to set another attendance record.

"We’re really looking forward to working with Crystal Palace over the coming months to put on a really exciting final," said Kelly Simmons, FA director of the women's professional game.

“Selhurst Park hosts some of the best men’s players in the world over the course of the season in the Premier League and has also played host to the brilliant Crystal Palace in the Barclays Women’s Championship. It is a fitting venue for the final to be held in March.”

Crystal Palace's home ground is no stranger to hosting women's cup finals, having been the venue for the Women's FA Cup final on three occasions between 2001 and 2003.

“We are delighted Selhurst Park has been selected to host the FA Women’s Continental Tyres League Cup Final," added Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish. "Crystal Palace has a rich heritage of hosting FA Finals, being the home of the Men’s FA Cup Final for twenty years before the construction of Wembley.

"As the women’s game continues to go from strength to strength, we are excited to continue this tradition by welcoming this showpiece game to South London.”
