England will take on Czech Republic three days after facing Germany at a sold-out Wembley

England Women are to play Czech Republic in their final game of the year on Tuesday 12 November (kick-off 7.15pm GMT).

They will host Phil Neville’s squad in České Budějovice just three days after the visit of Germany to a sold-out Wembley Stadium on Saturday 9 November (5.30pm kick-off).

Neville said: “It is great to have secured this away fixture which follows what I'm sure will be a momentous occasion at Wembley.

“Czech Republic will provide a very different test for us as we continue our early preparations towards the home UEFA Women’s EURO 2021.

“The fact that Czech Republic has been chosen to host the U19 Euro finals in 2022 shows just how rapidly the women’s game is growing in their country and how determined they are to progress the game.”

The fixture will take place at the Stadion Střelecký ostrov, home of SK Dynamo České Budějovice, and will be broadcast live on BBC 4 - and available on BBC iPlayer - with coverage starting at 7pm.

It will also be the first time a Lionesses match will be streamed live worldwide, excluding Czech Republic, on The FA Player.

The FA last week confirmed all tickets have been sold for the home match against Germany.

It is hoped the attendance on the day will beat the record turnout for a women’s game in this country, which stands at 80,023 when USA defeated Japan 2-1 at Wembley to claim gold at London 2012.
