The East Anglian derby will be back at Carrow Road sooner than expected, after Norwich City Women were drawn against Ipswich Town in the League Cup.

The Canaries will face their Suffolk rivals in the determining round of the competition, with the winner progressing to the main draw of the competition and the losers to play in the League Plate.

The game will kick off at 7:45pm on Thursday, August 29, and the club will announce ticketing details in due course.

The Tractor Girls currently compete in the Women's National League Southern Premier Division, the third tier of women's football in England and one higher than Andy Cook's side.

They finished fourth last season, while Norwich narrowly missed out on promotion to league winners Wimbledon.

General manager Flo Allen revealed earlier this summer that at least two women's games would take place at the club's NR1 stadium in the 2024-25 campaign, saying: "There will be two games here, minimum, that's already in the pipeline.

"It's massive for us; games at Carrow Road have such an impact on our community, our long-term plans.

"We see the success of the three games we've had in the last two years here, let alone County Cup finals. We've captured some real good data on who our audience is and what it is that they want to see as well.

"We think it's important that we create an event they can come to and have a real sense of belonging, go home and want to come back again. That's really important for us.

"But ultimately it's a football match as well, and to steal Andy's favourite quote, 'pressure's for car tyres'. It should be an enjoyable moment as well, and we've had lots of practice at it now. Hopefully it's just ingrained in what we do."
