The Ricoh Arena in Coventry will stage an Olympic Qualifying match next April (2012), it has been announced.

No date has been announced for the game or who will compete in the game but the game will be used as a test of the venue by the London 2012 Organising Committee.

Daniel Gidney told the club website: "The test events are a key component of the preparations to the world's greatest sporting event.

"We are one of only three stadiums which will be hosting a medal match when we stage the women's bronze medal game during 2012.

"This test event will make sure that the operational aspect of running such prestigious matches goes smoothly on the big days themselves."
