And Three Lions captain Rooney, who met women's skipper Steph Houghton at St. George's Park last week, is urging fans to get their tickets and show their support for England.

"I was speaking [to Steph] about how it feels to play for your country at Wembley and what an honour and experience it is," Rooney told TheFA.com.

"Obviously she is really excited about the game. It will be a great occasion for all the girls in the team because it is a massive occasion, playing at Wembley," 

"For the women's national team to do so it shows how much the women's game has moved on."

Rooney added: "Women's football has moved on rapidly over the last few years and it's great to see. 

"They have so many fans getting behind to support them, we'll all be watching and cheering them on. Hopefully they'll get a big crowd and people tune in to watch it."

Tickets for England Women v Germany are priced at £15 for adults and just £1 for children.
