The England football team, led by Harry Kane, has kickstarted its training for the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026, set to start on June 11. Head coach Thomas Tuchel and his squad have landed in Florida for their pre-World Cup camp. Arsenal’s Declan Rice, Noni Madueke, Eberechi Eze, and Bukayo Saka, along with Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson, will join the team later, following their recent European finals participation as per BBC reports.
In Florida, England is scheduled to continue their World Cup preparations with matches against New Zealand and Costa Rica on June 6 and 10 respectively. The team’s World Cup journey will begin a week later with a match against Croatia in Dallas on June 17. Subsequently, they will face Ghana in Boston on June 23 and conclude their group stage fixtures against Panama in New Jersey on June 27.
