England To Face Brazil, Belgium Ahead Of Euro 2024

POSTED ON November 6, 2023 •   World      BY Segun Adewole

The Football Association (FA) announced on Monday that England is set to host two prestigious international matches at Wembley in March as part of their preparations for Euro 2024. The England national team, led by manager Gareth Southgate, secured their place in the tournament in Germany with two games to spare after a convincing 3-1 victory against Italy last month.

In the upcoming fixtures, England will face five-time World Cup champions Brazil on March 23, followed by a showdown against the fifth-ranked Belgium on March 26. Belgium, like England, has already secured a spot in the Euro 2024 finals, promising high-intensity encounters for the Three Lions.

The Euro 2020 runners-up have their focus firmly on the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers. First, they will host Malta on November 17 and then travel to face North Macedonia three days later. Southgate emphasized the significance of these matches, stating, "Getting two positive results is essential if we are to make sure of being top seeds in the Euro draw next month."

The England manager also highlighted the importance of testing his squad against formidable opposition. "It is important we take every opportunity to test ourselves against top opposition," Southgate added, noting that these matches will play a pivotal role in their preparations for the Euro finals.

As England continues to fine-tune their lineup and strategies, their journey towards Euro 2024 is taking shape. Southgate and his squad remain committed to putting in the necessary work to ensure they are in the best possible position for success next summer.
