England Set to Encounter New Zealand and Costa Rica in Florida Prior to World Cup

New Zealand, competing in their initial World Cup appearance since 2010, will meet England on June 6th, followed by Thomas Tuchels team taking on Costa Rica, who advanced to the quarter finals in 2014, just four days afterwards.

"These two matches will play a vital role in Englands training base in South Florida before the team relocates to their main headquarters in Kansas City, Missouri, throughout the competition," stated the FA.

England, having made it to the quarter finals in the last tournament, will kick off their Group L matches versus Croatia on June 17th.
