ENGLAND will play their final warm-up matches for the World Cup against New Zealand and Costa Rica in Tampa Bay and Orlando respectively after finally confirming venues.

The friendly against New Zealand will take place at the Raymond James Stadium on June 6 at 4pm (9pm BST) before Thomas Tuchel’s men move across Florida to the Orlando City Stadium for the match with Costa Rica, with another 4pm (9pm BST) kick-off on June 10.

Both games were announced in February but the Football Association has only just been able to announce the locations.

Tuchel’s side will have a lengthy stint in Florida which will give the squad chance to acclimatise to what are expected to be sweltering conditions.

England will then head into camp in Kansas City, where they will be based at the Soccer Swope Village for the duration of the tournament.

England begin against Croatia in Dallas on June 17, six days after the tournament opener, then head to Boston to take on Ghana on June 23 before closing their group stage against Panama in New Jersey on June 27.
