England Women to face Iceland at Nottingham Forest on Saturday 7 March 2026, for their first home match of the 2027 World Cup qualifiers.
The Lionesses last played at the City Ground 32 years ago, defeating Belgium 6-0 in a EURO qualifying match in March 1994. It was a standout performance, with Marieanne Spacey, Karen Walker, Kerry Davis and Gillian Coultard all finding the net.
Sarina Wiegman told englandfootball.com: “We are at the beginning of an important qualifying campaign. We want to be at our best and are really looking forward to getting started again. Iceland are a well organised, competitive side, so this will be a great test for us as we begin our journey toward the World Cup.
“We’re excited to play at Nottingham Forest. It has been a very long time since England women have appeared there, and it’s important for us to bring the Lionesses to different parts of the country. I know the fans, as always, will create a brilliant atmosphere for the players and give us fantastic support in this historic stadium.”
