England have lined up two matches against USA in preparation for the UEFA Women’s U19 Championship finals.
Mo Marley’s side will host the Stars and Stripes at St. George’s Park on Wednesday 5 July and Friday 7 July. Both matches will be open to friends, family, club representatives and invited guests only.
The Young Lionesses made it to the Euro finals, which are being staged in Northern Ireland between 8-20 August, by defeating Denmark, Czech Republic and Turkey in the elite qualifying round in April.
The finals draw will take place in Belfast on Thursday 22 June, when the eight teams will be split into two groups of four. The top two from each section will advance to the semi-finals.
Marley led England’s U19s to Euro glory in Belarus in 2009 – and six of those gold medal winners are in Mark Sampson’s squad for the Euro 2017 finals which gets under way in July.

Goalkeepers: Sandy MacIver (Clemson University), Ellie Roebuck (Manchester City), Sian Rogers (Arsenal).
