The UEFA Women's EURO 2022 tournament kicks off on Wednesday, July 6 and there is a Sussex connection as three games – two Group A matches including England v Norway and a quarter-final – take place at the Amex Stadium, home of Brighton and Hove Albion.

And football freestyler Shannon Ghee, who is a former Oxford United player, was on hand to entertain passers-by with her incredible skills. You can watch a video of Shannon Ghee above.

Jonathan Pollard, Chief Commercial Officer, Gatwick Airport said: “It’s really exciting for the UEFA Women’s EURO not only to be hosted in England for the first time since 2005, but for fixtures to take place across London and the south east for the first time ever.

"We are looking forward to welcoming teams and fans from across Europe to Gatwick over the coming weeks, with venues in London, Brighton & Hove and Southampton all easily and directly accessible. All at Gatwick wish Sarina Wiegman and her England Women’s squad the best of luck for the tournament.”
