England Women's U19s face France double-header

England Women’s Under-19s face two testing matches against France in preparation for this summer’s European Championship.

Mo Marley’s side have been drawn alongside Germany, Spain and Norway for the eight-team finals which will be staged in Israel between 15-27 July.

And they will take on fellow finalists France in an away double-header next month.

Marley will take 20 players to Brou and Chartres, two venues to the south-west of Paris. Fifteen of the squad helped England progress from the elite qualifying round in April.

The first match against France will take place in the Municipal Stadium in Brou on Wednesday 3 June, with the second match being held in Jacques Couvret Stadium in Chartres on Friday 5 June.

France edged England 3-2 the last time the two sides met, in La Manga in March 2014, and they also defeated them after extra-time in the final of the 2013 Euros in Wales.

England begin this year’s Euro finals campaign against Germany on 15 July, followed by Spain on 18 July and Norway on 21 July.
