ENGLAND MU18s: FIND OUT MORE

England men’s under-18s will play two games at St. George’s Park in May as they bring their season to a close.

The Young Lions will welcome Northern Ireland to the national football centre on Wednesday 22 May (7pm BST), before they face Morocco on Sunday 26 May (2pm) in what will be the first time England have hosted the North African nation on home soil at any level.

Head coach Tom Curtis has picked a 23-man squad for the double-header, as this age group prepare to enter the UEFA U19 EURO competition next season.

The MU18s go into May’s matches on the back of a trip to Spain when they beat the Netherlands by 2-1, shared a 0-0 draw with Germany which ended in a penalty shootout win and beat Czechia by 2-1.
