West Ham United Women have clarified major information regarding their future Women FA Cup Brighton match. The tie in the fifth round will be followed on Sunday 22 February. It is expected to start at 12 noon. The game will be played in east London in Chigwell Construction Stadium.
Women FA cup Brighton match is a significant home game to Rita Guarino and her team. West Ham will be seeking to gain momentum, into later stages of the competition. One of the key benefits would be to play at home. The club has already received a lot of backing in the stadium this season.
It will not be the first encounter of the two parties in Chigwell Construction Stadium. The last time they met was in October during the Women league cup. This time West Ham narrowly got a 2-1 victory. That is still in the memory and it gives an added advantage to this cup tie.
The Brighton clash in the Women FA Cup has already been sold. The prices have been maintained low. Adult tickets cost PS5. Children under the age of 18 pay PS1. Hopefully, this can boost attendance at the club by the families and younger fans too. A strong crowd is expected.
In early this month, West Ham left out the fifth round in a very convincing performance. The Hammers won the match against the Newcastle United 3-0. The first goal was by Viviane Asseyi. Riko Ueki added a second. The victory was done by Sarah Brasero. The outcome highlighted the increased confidence of the team.
