UEFA WOMEN'S EURO 2009™ hosts Finland will kick off their campaign against Denmark at Helsinki's Olympic Stadium on Sunday 23 August.

The Scandinavian rivals will also meet Ukraine and Netherlands in Group A, with all four teams playing on the opening day of the finals. Group B gets under way the following day, with Iceland tackling France and Germany squaring off against Norway in a repeat of the 2005 final.
