Lionesses set to mark landmark 500th game in Iceland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 | OneFootball

England Women will play their 500th game when they take on Iceland in a World Cup qualifier on Saturday afternoon.

The Lionesses' first ever game was played over 50 years ago in November 1972, which was a 3-2 victory over Scotland in Greenock.

Their 499th game was the narrow 1-0 win over Spain earlier this week, and they'll hope to mark the occasion this weekend with another crucial World Cup qualifying win in Reykjavík.

Throughout their 500 games, England have faced Italy more than any other opponent, and have a 100 percent win rate against 27 of the 56 different opponents they've faced over the years.

Of course, England's most successful calendar year was 2022 when they won 16 games and claimed their first European Championship.

Here's to more success in the next 500 games.
