Last Updated : 02-Mar-2025 by Three Lions

Back at the helm of England's under-21s after his six-game spell in charge of the senior men's team, Lee Carsley is preparing for this summer's European Championships in Slovakia where his side will be defending the title they won in 2023.

Planning begins this month with two friendlies, away to France and at home to Portugal with that fixture taking place at the Hawthorns, home of West Bromwich Albion, on Monday 24 March.

Tickets for the game are available now with reductions for Baggies' season-ticket holders and members.

The draw for this summer's finals has paired England alongside Germany, Czechia and Slovenia in Group B.

"They’re teams that we’ve played before, so we know a lot about them,” said Carsley at the time of the draw.

"They’re all good teams too, so we know how difficult it’s going to be and it’s a tournament that we’re looking forward to now."

The tournament takes place between 11 and 28 June with Group B fixtures taking place in Dunajska Streda and Nitra.

Tickets are on sale via the official website, priced at 12/15 Euros for the group stage games.
