Khan celebrates London as 2025 capital of women’s sport
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, speaks to the media after launching his Greener Schools pilot at Avondale Park Primary School in London, December 5, 2024

LONDON will be the “undisputed global capital for women’s sport” next year, the city’s Mayor Sadiq Khan has said.

The Women’s Rugby World Cup final at Twickenham on September 27 will round off an exciting series of events in the city.

England go into that tournament hoping to topple world champions New Zealand, and will tune up in the Six Nations in the spring. Their concluding match in that competition will also be held at Twickenham, on April 26.
