OurSCOTLAND neighbours, our friends. The Scottish WNT are embarking on their first trip to a World Cup, but the Scots didn’t make qualification to their first World Cup easy. Of the seven victories in qualification, four of them involved battling back from a losing position. It is a team that the Lionesses players know well, and many FAWSL and FAWC fans will see some familiar faces lining up for Scotland in the first group-stage game, including Jen Beattie (Man City), (Arsenal), (Man City), (Chelsea) and (West Ham). Head coach is a former SWNT captain and made the record books in the UK for being the first female coach to manage a men’s team – Stirling University FC – from 2014-2017. Despite being their first appearance on the highest stage, this will be no easy encounter.

ArgentinaARGENTINA haven’t been at the World Cup since 2007, and their third-placed finish at the Copa América Femenina in 2018 meant that in order to get to France this summer they had to contest an intercontinental play-off against Panama, several months later. Following increased support from the Argentina Football Federation, they won 4-0 at home in Buenos Aires and drew 1-1 in the away leg, to seal their spot in the finals. After a 12-year absence, La Albiceleste will be doing everything they can to earn their first ever win or draw at the World Cup.

8 FREELIONESSESWWC2019 ONES TO WATCH GEORGIA STANWAY The 2019 PFA Young Player of the Year, Stanway’s career started at Rovers. Her commitment to the game, like many young elite female players, was in evidence from the start – the Barrow-based youngster completing a 150-mile round trip three times a week to train with the Blackburn squad. Her talent shone as she progressed rapidly at Rovers and gained a contract with Man City. Golden Boot joint-winner at the U20 World Cup last summer, she scored on her senior team debut against Austria in November 2018. Player of the Match in the 2019 Women’s FA Cup Final, we predict a successful tournament for a rising star. BETH MEAD Having been the inspiration for the newly-coined phrase ‘the crot (cross-shot),’ Mead has had a prolific season both domestically and internationally. She was a major part of the FAWSL title winners Arsenal, and also played a key part in England successfully winning the SheBelieves Cup in the United States back in the spring. Mead has been making headlines all season, and we think that just might continue into the summer. KAREN BARDSLEY Going into her seventh major tournament and her third World Cup, Bardsley offers vast experience and is the ultimate ‘big game’ player. Making her senior debut in 2005, she has been a constant presence in the England set-up ever since. She began her football career playing in the USA and had a short spell in before moving to England. LUCY BRONZE The fierce right-back has several accolades to her name (PFA Players’ Player of the Year in 2014 and 2017, The FA’s Player of the Year in 2015, as well as the BBC Women’s Footballer of the Year in 2018). Domestically, she has played for a number of teams, most notably helping both Man City and to WSL title triumphs. Versatile and determined, she possesses a powerful combination of intelligence and strength. In March 2019, Phil Neville labelled the Lyon-based Lioness as the ‘best player in the world’. NIKITA PARRIS England’s top scorer in qualifying, Parris won the Football Writers’ Association Player of the Year award for her performances in 2018-19. The former Everton striker will leave her club of five years, Man City, to follow in the footsteps of Lucy Bronze and by joining Lyon. Lyon are Europe’s most successful side and it is testament to Parris’ ability that she has been given a contract with the French giants. It’s a loss to City and English domestic football, but her experience with the European elite will aid the Lionesses. The speedy, livewire forward is definitely one of England’s most potent weapons. ALL ABOUT FRANCE Getting to know our hosts

Language The French, unsurprisingly, speak French. The Academie Francaise has been the linguistic guardian of the country since the 1600s, but despite its desires more and more words are being adopted from English and other cultures, particularly in the worlds of tourism, business and technology. You can enjoy ‘un sandwich’ on ‘le weekend’, for instance. There are strong regional dialects, so you’ll probably notice a great difference in how someone from speaks when compared with a Parisian or someone from , making comprehension a little tricky. The younger the person you come across, the greater the chance that they’ll speak at least some English, but don’t assume that you’ll be able to get by without any native lingo. It’d be worth your while learning a handful of common phrases (or dusting off that old French GCSE) just in case.

10 FREELIONESSESWWC2019 Climate The climate is broadly temperate and in line with what you could expect from a British summer, particularly in the north and northeast, but the size of France means there are some big variations. Those of you following the Lionesses from Nice to Le Havre are more than likely to notice a few degrees’ difference between the two, but average temperatures for June and July are likely to range from the mid-teens to the low-to-mid-twenties Celsius, with the Mediterranean and south the hottest areas of the country.

While we’re sure that many of you will be familiar with France from various summer holidays or school trips from days of yore, we thought it a good idea to provide some general information about the hosts of this year’s Women’s World Cup, along with some safety and security advice. Some of what follows may seem obvious, but there’s always the chance you pick up a nugget or two of useful information. For more, see our website at bit.ly/freelionesses

Police You’ll come across two main types of police on your travels - the Police Nationale in major cities, and the Gendarmerie in the countryside. Since the 2015 terror attacks in , it is much more common to see armed police and even the army on patrol at major transport hubs and monuments, particularly in the capital. In an emergency you can call the police on 112 (a pan-European emergency number where you should be connected to an English-speaking operator). Other emergency numbers are 15 for an ambulance and 18 for the fire service.

FREELIONESSESWWC2019 11 ALL ABOUT FRANCE Documents You don’t need a visa to enter France if you have an EU Passport, and while it isn’t a requirement to carry ID we’d recommend that you keep some form of photo ID on you in case of checks by the French police. If your hotel/accommodation offers a safe, we’d recommend storing your important documents in there rather than having them all on your person when out and about. You can get a replacement passport at the British Embassy, but it’s not something we’d recommend if you can avoid it! Food and Drink France is known the world over for its gastronomy. Top of the list for most people are its cheeses and wines, but each region has its own specialities, from cassoulet to quiche, fondue to boeuf bourguignon, and we’d encourage you to try the local food wherever you head. When eating out, taxes and service charges are usually included in restaurant bills, so there isn’t a need to tip as much as in other countries. The bill will usually say something like ‘prix service compris’ to indicate that service is included - if you’ve been particularly well looked after, a couple of Euros on top would be acceptable. A lot of restaurants/brasseries will offer a ‘prix fixe’ menu at a set price (usually with a choice of two or three options), or you can order from the more expensive ‘a la carte’ menu. By law, a restaurant is obliged to serve you bread with your meal, and you can always ask for ‘une carafe d’eau’ if you want some tap water. MONEY France use the Euro and at the time of writing, the exchange rate was broadly hovering around €1.15 to the pound. ATMs are as plentiful in French cities as they are at home, and almost all will accept the majority of UK credit/debit cards. Chip and PIN verification is common, although some older machines (particularly those used for public transport) will only accept French Cartes Bancaires, so we’d recommend keeping a small amount of change on you to pay for trams or metros. Visa and Mastercard (and their debit variations) are widely accepted, but other cards such as American Express are less widespread. We’d advise you to check with your bank beforehand what they charge for overseas transactions and cash withdrawals - some accounts offer free banking while others will charge a fee each time you swipe your card or take out some cash. If the charges are particularly punitive, it may be worth your while to take out more cash in fewer visits to the cashpoint, or exchange some money before you go.

12 FREELIONESSESWWC2019 GETTING AROUND FRANCE DRIVING First things first In France, they drive on the right, and give way to traffic from the SAFETY right, unless otherwise indicated. That’s pretty key. In all other EQUIPMENT respects, the rules of the road It is required by are broadly similar to the UK (all French law that all drivers and passengers must wear cars are equipped seatbelts, don’t use a horn at night with the following: in a built-up area, a red traffic Reflective/hi-vis light means stop, and so on). jackets, to be used It stands to reason that you must in the case of have a valid driving licence, and emergencies.

FREELIONESSESWWC2019 13 LANGUAGE Essential Words and Phrases You’re likely to come across a passable level of English in all host cities, but it’s not safe to assume that everyone you come across, particularly outside the typical tourist industries, will be fluent. Besides, we always like to encourage visiting fans to try a bit of the hosts’ lingo where possible. The effort is often appreciated, even if you are responded to in English. Below you’ll find some useful words and phrases to help you get by in France this summer.

Whether you’re up for an active couple of days down by the seaside or just lying on the beach and soaking up some sunshine, Nice and the rest of the Cote d’Azur has something to offer everyone. NICE 20 FREELIONESSESWWC2019 SHINYA ICHINOHE KURT BAUSCHARDT Getting Around Most of the city centre, particularly the Vielle Ville (old town) is coverable on foot. There are tram and bus networks, but these are largely designed for commuters and getting people to/from the suburbs. The networks run until about 8pm (bus) and 1am (tram). The main bus network in Nice is run by Lignes d’Azur, while there is a local network called TAM (Transport Alpes-Maritimes) which runs services MICHAL along the coast if you’re exploring the riviera. These two systems overlap in Nice, but fortunately the pricing system is the same - €1.50 for a journey - and the Lignes d’Azur tickets are also accepted on TAM services with the city. Your tickets are valid for a connecting service within an oddly specific timeframe of 74 minutes (this is only true when changing routes - to make a return journey along the same route you need to buy a new ticket).

There are ‘multi’ tickets available where you can buy 10 journeys for €10, which is handy for those travelling in groups. You need to validate the ticket as many times as there are passengers if travelling on a group multi-ticket. For more details, visit www.lignesdazur.com The tram system connects the bus station, train station, downtown and some outlying suburbs. The tickets are also €1.50 per journey, and should be bought from the machines at the stations. It is probably the most convenient way to reach the old town from the train station, with two stops - Opéra and Cathédrale - only 5 minutes or so from Gare Thiers. For those that like to travel more privately, it’s worth noting that taxis can be very expensive in and around Nice (for example, the starting rate for a trip to/from the city centre to the airport is €32), so opting for an Uber is likely to be a much more economical choice. Nice also has a bike rental system called Velo Bleu - on similar lines to ’s ‘Boris Bikes’. A daily rate of €1 is applied (with a credit card taken as deposit in case you run off with your bike) and the first 30 minutes of any journey is free. Should you plan to travel for longer, simply dock the bike and take out another one immediately to re-start the clock. There are stations all over the city - for more details, visit www.velobleu.org

FREELIONESSESWWC2019 21 CITY GUIDE NICE The Stadium The Stade de Nice (or depending on which competition you’re in) opened in September 2013. It was a much-needed new home for OGC Nice, replacing the pokey which only holds 18,000 and having been built in 1927 was beginning to show its age. The ground is located next to the Var river, around 10km west of Nice city centre – so make sure you plan your match-day travel in advance. FIFA are providing free shuttle buses from the centre of Nice to the stadium, or you can take the TER train from Gare de Nice-Ville down to Gare Nice Saint-Augustin and grab a bus or taxi from there (it’s a 5km walk otherwise). The number 95 bus also takes you straight to Stade de Nice on match-days from Hôpital St Roch in the city centre in around 50 minutes. JIM MCDOUGALL

Welcome to Normandy, and France’s second busiest port city of Le Havre. Founded back in 1517, you might be expecting something of an old-town feel to the place, but due to the destruction of the Second World War what’s left is a largely completely rebuilt city centre, which looks a lot more like a gridded American city than a medieval French one, particularly in the city’s downtown area. Auguste Perret’s redesign has led the city to being added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List, and there’s plenty to do on your visit here for England’s second group stage game against Argentina. Claude Monet’s 1872 ‘Impression, Sunrise’ depicted the city’s harbour, and gave its name to the impressionist school of architecture. Jean Paul Sartre taught here, and the head of the IMF Christine Lagarde grew up here. If you’re arriving from Nice, chances are the weather will be a good deal cooler and windier than you’ve experienced down on the riviera, but you’ll receive a warm welcome here nonetheless.

A centre for the French resistance during the war, you can still explore the ‘traboules’ (the network of secret merchants’ passages that operated as hiding places and escape routes from the Nazis). They work as a good metaphor for the city itself - while the tourist office offers a map, perhaps it’s more fun just walking the streets of Vieux Lyon and trying a door - you’ll never know what you’ll find behind.

Things to See/Do The old town of Vieux Lyon is well worth an explore, and while you can follow various walking tour guides and trails, sometimes it’s just more fun to try and get lost in amongst the backstreets - the old town is one of the largest and best examples of renaissance-era architecture in Europe. While there, you should pay a visit to the St Jean Cathedral, which was constructed between 1180 and 1480, and features a spectacular astronomical clock. If you’re feeling fit then a walk up the hill to the west bank of the Saône to see the Fourvière Basilica is a must - for those who fancy things at a more leisurely pace, there’s the funicular from Vieux Lyon St Jean metro station.

The Stadium ’ new 59,000-seater ground was inaugurated in January 2016. Also known as Stade des Lumières or Stade de Lyon, it replaced Lyon’s ageing 40,000 capacity . The ground is right next to the N346/E15 motorway and is about a ten to 15-minute walk from the Decines Grand Large stop on Tram Line 3 to the east of the city. It’ll likely take you at least half an hour to get out from the city centre on the tram, so we’d recommend leaving plenty of time for your journey on match day.
