Sarina Wiegman’s side will also be pitted against Norway, as well as their rivals across in Northern Ireland as they bid to make sure they secure their place in the knockout stages of the competition – and they’ll have ambitions of going all the way for the first time ever.

England Women have have reached two Euros finals over the years, doing so in their first tournament back in 1984, and then again in 2009 - they lost to Sweden and Germany. Last time out they made it through to the semifinals before losing to eventual winners, the Netherlands.
