Background

Announcing the match earlier in the summer, Chelsea Chairman Bruce Buck said: ‘We are delighted to be taking the team to Israel to play the Women’s national team. As well as a challenging part of our pre-season, this match will help raise the profile of women’s football.

‘Our commitment to women’s football is driven by our owner, Mr Roman Abramovich, who is passionate about supporting the team and promoting the sport. We hope that our visit to Israel will not only be a special moment for our Israeli fans and our players, but also help to grow the game in the country.’
