Nottingham Forest’s City Ground will host the match against Senegal on Tuesday June 10, while England will meet neighbours Wales at Wembley on Thursday October 9.
Facing a strong African team in a passionate city with rich football heritage and then a derby match at the iconic Wembley; two big occasions that can only help us on the road to the World Cup.
“While I know Wembley is our home, I also understand the importance of taking the team around the country when we are able to and the opportunity to experience playing at a famous old English stadium such as the City Ground is one we can all look forward to.”.
The Senegal match will mark the first time the City Ground has hosted a full England men’s international since 1909.
The Football Association have confirmed that England will face Senegal and Wales in friendly matches later this year.
