The Close Season is today in its 15th day...

Throughout the month of June players in England are given a break away from the game and only international, small-side, armed forces and scout matches are permitted.

Without any football for a whole month, TheFA.com is here to help you through every day in June with our guide, Close Season Encounters, pointing you in the direction of your daily dose of the Beautiful Game...


Les Reed's young lions take on Turkey at 6pm and the match will be followed by Argentina's game with Poland at 8pm.

Just 'around the corner' from Toulon, it's the penultimate weekend of the Spanish season. Real Sociedad are currently top of La Liga, one point ahead of Real Madrid and three in front of Deportivo La Coruna. All three face tough away matches, but if the leaders win at Celta Viga, Deportivo, who are at Athletic Bilbao, will be virtually out of the race. The same could be said for Madrid, they make the short trip to the Vicente Calderon to take on Athletico Madrid, and if they slip up, they could be relinquishing the title. All three kick off at 9pm local time.

There is also another heat of the small-sided Master Football Tournament.  Today's heat, at Coventry's Sky Dome, is between the masters teams of Coventry, Ipswich, Norwich and Leicester.
