England will play Jamaica at Leicester’s King Power Stadium in their final friendly before Euro 2025.

It is the first time the nations have faced each other, and will take place on Sunday, 29 June (17:00 BST).

England begin the defence of their Euros title against France on 5 July, with the tournament being hosted in Switzerland.

Jamaica reached the knockout stage of the World Cup for the first time in 2023 after they eliminated Brazil in the groups.

Sarina Wiegman’s side recently beat Belgium 5-0 at Ashton Gate but lost the return leg 3-2 in Leuven, putting them second in their Nations League group behind Spain.

“I am really pleased to be able to play a good game to finalise our Euros preparations on English soil,” said Wiegman.

“Jamaica will be a difficult test, they’re a nation we haven’t faced before and a real opportunity for us to keep learning and growing as a team.

“They are building as a team themselves and have been doing really well, especially at the last World Cup. It will be a special occasion and atmosphere in a great stadium which we have performed well at in the past.”
