Kenny Swain has named his England U16 squad for the annual Montaigu Tournament in France later this month.
The Young Lions will play a total of four games over six days in the competition and Swain has picked an 18-man squad for the trip.
With eight nations in the Montaigu Tournament, the format sees two groups of four teams drawn out and three fixtures to start with.
The fourth and final match pits nations from each group against the team which finished in the corresponding position of the other group to decide the final rankings.
And England kick-off their group stage against the Netherlands on Tuesday 26 March, before facing Chile two days later and then finishing with a clash against Germany on Saturday 30 March.
The final match will be played on Monday 1 April, with France, Portugal, Turkey and Japan making up the other group.
England finished third in last year's Montaigu Tournament, with
a win over France in the final match following group games against
Russia,
Japan and
Morocco.
Swain’s squad contains players who have featured in this season’s Victory Shield and the
recent match with Germany and will be the final U16 games of the season.
