England will face Senegal in June 2025 at Nottingham and Wales at Wembley in October as part of their preparations for World Cup qualifiers under coach Thomas Tuchel, marking a significant schedule for the year.
In June 2025, England will play against Senegal at the City Ground in Nottingham and will host Wales at Wembley Stadium in October. These two friendlies conclude England’s schedule for 2025, which primarily revolves around qualification for the upcoming World Cup.
Thomas Tuchel, the new England manager, will lead the team for the first time next month during crucial World Cup qualifying matches against Albania and Latvia. The Euro 2024 finalists also aim to secure their spot by facing Serbia and Andorra. The World Cup will be co-hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
Notably, the City Ground has not hosted an English senior men’s team match since March 1909, highlighting its historical significance. Senegal’s match is set for June 10, while the friendly against Wales is scheduled for October 9.
“The games against Senegal and Wales will present good challenges for us against two very different opponents,” Tuchel stated. He emphasized the importance of these games as valuable preparation for the World Cup, noting the unique atmosphere of playing in a city with rich football heritage and the significance of a derby match at Wembley.
Tuchel acknowledged Wembley as England’s home but stressed the importance of taking the team to various venues across the country. The opportunity to play at renowned stadiums like the City Ground is one that the team looks forward to experiencing.
England’s upcoming friendly matches against Senegal and Wales provide critical preparation ahead of World Cup qualifiers. With Thomas Tuchel at the helm, these games will offer different competitive experiences at historic venues, enhancing the team’s readiness for international challenges.
