英格兰将于周三宣布，通过与乌拉圭和日本的友谊国际赛为明年世界杯做准备。这两场比赛标志着主教练托马斯·图赫尔球队在争取终结60年无重大奖杯等待前的最后主场比赛。乌拉圭将于3月27日造访温布利，四天后日本来访。
英格兰足球协会周三宣布，将于3月27日在温布利球场迎战乌拉圭，四天后对阵日本，作为2026年北美洲FIFA世界杯备战的组成部分。这些比赛代表托马斯·图赫尔球队在冲击60年来首个重大奖杯前的最后主场赛事。
三狮军团在世界杯预选赛中保持不败晋级，但3月的对手带来严峻挑战。乌拉圭世界排名第16，日本第18，两国均已获本届赛事资格。这些赛事实为球员争取图赫尔5月公布大名单的最后机会，此后英格兰计划在美国进行两场友谊赛再进入集训。
“我们很高兴确认这两场赛事，随着世界杯年的成型，”图赫尔说。“我们想对阵世界前20球队，同时测试对欧洲以外对手的实力。”
这位德国教练补充道：“周五抽签后，明年的兴奋正不断积累，我们迫不及待想在温布利重见球迷。”
世界杯上，英格兰分在L组，对手为克罗地亚、加纳和巴拿马。这些友谊赛是为期盼已久的胜利积累势头的关键一步。
