England will prepare for Euro 2024 with two fixtures against European opposition, as preparations become finalised for the tournament in Germany.
The Three Lions qualified for Euro 2024 in November after finishing ahead of Ukraine and Italy in Group C, and subsequently announced two friendlies for the March international break. They faced Brazil and Belgium at Wembley, losing 1-0 and drawing 2-2, as Gareth Southgate was given one final chance to look at his players ahead of announcing a preliminary squad in mid-May.
He will have two more opportunities to learn more about his side ahead of the tournament, though, before finalising his squad ahead of the tournament kicking off with Germany vs Scotland on June 14.
Who will England play before Euro 2024?
With England drawn into a group which includes Denmark, Serbia and Slovenia, their Euro 2024 gets underway against Serbia in Gelsenkirchen on June 16. To prepare for their matches, the Three Lions have scheduled in a further two warm-up games against Bosnia & Herzegovina and Iceland on June 3 and June 7.
The first match, against Bosnia, will be played at Newcastle's St. James' Park, due to Wembley hosting the Champions League final on June 1. England will return to the national stadium against Iceland, though, before flying to Germany to continue their final stages of preparation.
Both Bosnia and Iceland have failed to automatically qualify for the Euros after finishing fourth and fifth in the same group, but their performances in the Nations League saw them enter the play-off stages in March. Neither managed to make it through to the final tournament, though, with Ukraine winning their pathway.
Iceland, of course, inflicted one of England's most-embarrassing defeats in the team's history at Euro 2016, winning 2-1 in France. England have never played against Bosnia & Herzegovina before.
