England To Host United States And Switzerland In September
England To Host United States And Switzerland In September: The governing Football Association announced that England will play post-World Cup friendly internationals at home to Switzerland and the United States. The matches will be in addition to a UEFA Nations League campaign that features home and away fixtures with Spain and Croatia.
Swiss team will arrive in September while the venue has not yet been decided for the September 11th visit of the Swiss team leading to speculation the Football Association could take the game away from their Wembley headquarters in London.
The November 15th match against the United States will, however, take place at Wembley. The last time the U.S. took on England on English soil was in May 2008, when John Terry and Steven Gerrard scored in a 2-0 win for the Three Lions.
As per last FIFA rankings, Switzerland, ranked 6th in the world. In 2015 when it last played in England, ranked 13th, when goals from Harry Kane and Wayne Rooney condemned them to a 2-0 defeat in a Euro 2016 qualifier.
After the 2018 World Cup in Russia, England begin their Nations League campaign (NLC) and will host Spain on September 8th before trips to Croatia and Spain on October 12th and 15th respectively, ahead of facing Croatia at Wembley on November 18th.
England will next play Nigeria at Wembley on June 2nd before facing Costa Rica in another World Cup warm-up fixture in Leeds five days later. Gareth Southgate’s men begin their World Cup finals campaign against Tunisia on June 18th.
Switzerland, meanwhile, will face footballing giants Brazil on June 17th in their first match of the tournament in Russia. They are also set to face Serbia and Costa Rica in the group stage. The Swiss have been regular visitors to England with the most recent trip coming during Euro 2016 qualifying in September 2015 when goals from Harry Kane and Wayne Rooney settled a 2-0 victory for the hosts.
