England Given Safety Reassurances for Turkey Match

England manager Sarina Wiegman confirms the Lionesses have been given safety reassurances for their Women's World Cup qualifier against Ukraine in Turkey on Tuesday.

Following recent Middle East conflicts that have raised safety concerns, Wiegman stated that England are in close contact with authorities and have received reassurances about their security. The match is being held in Turkey because Ukraine are unable to play in their home country due to the war with Russia.

While the team is monitoring the situation closely, Wiegman emphasized that they currently have no signals of danger. Some fans and media outlets have already chosen to withdraw from traveling to Turkey following the weekend's developments. The Lionesses traveled to Turkey last Wednesday for a training camp and will play the qualifier at 17:00 GMT on Tuesday.
