One more date and opponent to confirm for May (the one to be played in Nigeria)
But wait I don’t know about your knowledge of geography but if Nigeria are playing Poland a few days before why should they fly 1,460.274 miles (mileage accurate according to distance app) to London when the Ukraine are Poland’s Eastern neighbours?

A venue has not yet been agreed for the Ukraine match. Let us see what they come up with.

so its Serbia in london March 27 , Congo(not Ghana) in Abuja May28 and Czech (not Peru) in Austria June6.
well done nff - also signed another sponsorship deal worth $4m with cocacola

Good work by Pinnick. I am pleased that he is not just accepting any offers. Clearly, it appears that they have dropped some games because the finances were not right.

Not all the players you listed have to feature in each friendly.
