England’s last meeting with Republic of Ireland was a goalless draw in Dublin in June 2015. The Three Lions are set to play them again in the first of three games to conclude their 2020 fixture list as preparations ramp up for Euro 2020.

England will play Republic of Ireland in an international friendly on November 12, the FA have confirmed, ahead of Nations League games against Belgium and Iceland.

The Three Lions were due to face New Zealand on that date, but the Oceania nation pulled out due to uncertainty regarding squad selection created by the shifting nature of travel restrictions during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The ROI fixture is set to take place behind closed doors at Wembley Stadium.
