Last updated : 08 June 2012 By Covsupport News Service

BBC2 will be showing live the England Women's UEFA Euro Women's 2013 qualifier against Holland.

Hope Powell's side featuring probably former Coventry City Ladies defender Laura Bassett and former City Girls player Karen Carney face  the Dutch at Salford City Stadium on Sunday 17 June.

It’s great to have the BBC behind us again,” said Powell in a press statement to the FA website. “They have been fantastic for us over the years and every time one of our games is on the BBC it really raises the profile of the England team and women’s football on the whole and I’m sure we will witness that spike once again.

 “This is a really big game for us and I am delighted it will be on terrestrial TV. Now we just need to make sure we get the right result.”
