England Set To Play Against Nigeria, Costa Rica In Pre-World Cup Friendlies
England have arranged to host Nigeria and Costa Rica in warm-up friendlies ahead of the 2018 World Cup in June. Gareth Southgate’s side will take on Nigeria at Wembley on June 2 and then Costa Rica at Elland Road five days later, before heading off for the tournament in Russia. Taking home games on the road is something England did in the build-up to Euro 2016, playing friendlies at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light and Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium.
