ENGLAND NATIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM

The England national football team has represented England in international football since the first match in 1872. Controlled by the Football Association (FA) and affiliated with UEFA and FIFA, England competes in major tournaments like the FIFA World Cup, UEFA European Championship, and UEFA Nations League. Their home ground is Wembley Stadium, London, with training headquarters at St George's Park, Burton upon Trent. Gareth Southgate was the latest manager, resigning in July 2024 after Euro 2024.

England won the 1966 FIFA World Cup on home soil and has qualified for the World Cup sixteen times, achieving fourth place in 1990 and 2018. Although they have never won the European Championship, they were runners-up in 2020 and 2024. As part of the UK, England does not compete in the Olympics. They are the only team to have won the World Cup without securing a major continental title and the only non-sovereign country to have won the World Cup.
