England Women have lined up four friendlies starting with Germany at Wembley on Friday 25 October 2024.

Four days later, the Lionesses take on South Africa at Coventry City FC, with USA visiting Wembley on Saturday 30 November and Switzerland at Sheffield United FC on Tuesday 3 December.

Head coach Sarina Wiegman told englandfootball.com: “Our preparations for the EUROs start now. Securing our place at the tournament next summer, without the need to participate in the Play-Offs, gives us the maximum time to prepare for the challenge that awaits us in Switzerland.

“With the current UEFA Women’s Nations League format, the opportunities to play friendlies are limited. Therefore, I’m really pleased that we’ve been able to carefully select our opponents and give ourselves four very different and difficult challenges to aid our preparation. Each nation has a different style of play, a variety of strengths and that will test us in different ways.

“To play at Wembley again, especially against the quality of Germany and the United States, is really exciting. Our fans always show-up and bring the noise when we play there, which really helps the team and no doubt both games will create memorable atmospheres.

“Being able to take the team across the country is also very important to us and we’re pleased to be heading back to Coventry and Sheffield and two excellent stadiums. We have happy memories from both cities and I have no doubt the fans will come out in their numbers to support the team, as they always do.”
