England to play France, Germany friendlies ahead of Euro 2016

The FA announces that England will play friendlies against France and Germany over the next 18 months.

The Football Association has announced that England will play friendlies against France and Germany ahead of Euro 2016.

The Three Lions will face Euro 2016 hosts France at Wembley Stadium in November 2015 before travelling to world champions Germany in March 2016.

Meanwhile, the FA is continuing to hold talks with Spain and the Netherlands over possible friendlies in the near future.

England manager Roy Hodgson told the FA's official website: "It's very encouraging that our search for opposition in the international weeks has led to quality teams such as France, Spain and Germany - with Italy and the Republic of Ireland already announced for 2015.

"They will complement the important Euro qualifiers which remain the top priority and we are taking nothing for granted. However, these six potential fixtures will provide the type of test we're looking for going forward."

England concluded the current international break on Tuesday with a 3-1 win over Scotland at Celtic Park.
