The England national football team have represented England in international football since the first international match in 1872. It is controlled by the Football Association (FA), the governing body for football in England, which is affiliated with UEFA and comes under the global jurisdiction of world football's governing body FIFA.{{cite web|title=FA Handbook 2013–14|url=http://www.thefa.com/~/media/files/thefaportal/governance-docs/rules-of-the-association/2013-14/fa-handbook-2013-14.ashx|publisher=The Football Association|access-date=2 February 2014|page=621|format=PDF|archive-date=19 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140219013018/http://www.thefa.com/~/media/files/thefaportal/governance-docs/rules-of-the-association/2013-14/fa-handbook-2013-14.ashx|url-status=live}}{{cite web|title=Written evidence submitted by Lord Triesman|url=https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201012/cmselect/cmcumeds/792/792we16.htm|publisher=Parliament of the United Kingdom|access-date=31 August 2014|date=May 2009|archive-date=14 June 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180614172317/https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201012/cmselect/cmcumeds/792/792we16.htm|url-status=dead}} England competes in the three major international tournaments contested by European nations: the FIFA World Cup, the UEFA European Championship and the UEFA Nations League.

England are the joint oldest national team in football having played in the world's first international football match in 1872, against Scotland. England's home ground is Wembley Stadium, London, and their training headquarters is at St George's Park, Burton upon Trent. Thomas Tuchel is the current Head Coach.{{Cite web |last=Association |first=The Football |title=Thomas Tuchel appointed as England men's senior head coach |url=https://www.englandfootball.com/articles/2024/Oct/16/thomas-tuchel-appointed-as-england-mens-senior-head-coach-20241610 |access-date=2024-10-16 |website=www.englandfootball.com |language=en}}

England won the 1966 FIFA World Cup final on home soil, making them one of eight nations to have won the World Cup. They have qualified for the World Cup sixteen times, with fourth-place finishes in the 1990 and 2018 editions. England have never won the European Championship, with their best performances to date being runners-up finishes in 2020 and 2024. As a constituent country of the United Kingdom, England are not a member of the International Olympic Committee (as English athletes compete for Great Britain), and so do not compete at the Olympic Games. England are the only team to have won the World Cup at senior level but not their major continental title, and the only team representing a non-sovereign country to have won the World Cup.

History

{{main|History of the England national football team}}

=Early years=

File:England 1893.jpg at Richmond in 1893]]

The England men's national football team is the joint-oldest in the world; it was formed at the same time as Scotland. A representative match between England and Scotland was played on 5 March 1870, having been organised by the Football Association.{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/from-the-archive-blog/2011/may/13/guardian190-football-england-scotland |title=5 March 1870: England v Scotland at The Oval |work=The Guardian |date=13 May 2011 |access-date=26 June 2021 |archive-date=16 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160316005526/http://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/from-the-archive-blog/2011/may/13/guardian190-football-england-scotland |url-status=live }} A return fixture was organised by representatives of Scottish football teams on 30 November 1872. This match, played at Hamilton Crescent in Scotland, is viewed as the first official international football match, because the two teams were independently selected and operated, rather than being the work of a single football association.{{cite web |title=England Match No. 1 – Scotland – 30 November 1872 – Match Summary and Report |url=http://www.englandfootballonline.com/Seas1872-00/1872-73/M0001Sco1872.html |publisher=englandfootballonline.com |access-date=22 October 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111203105311/http://www.englandfootballonline.com/Seas1872-00/1872-73/M0001Sco1872.html |archive-date=3 December 2011 |url-status=live }} Over the next 40 years, England played exclusively with the other three Home Nations—Scotland, Wales and Ireland—in the British Home Championship.

At first, England had no permanent home stadium. They joined FIFA in 1906 and played their first games against countries other than the Home Nations on a tour of Central Europe in 1908.{{cite news |url=https://www.thefa.com/about-football-association/what-we-do/history |title=A history of the FA |publisher=The Football Association |access-date=26 June 2021 |archive-date=29 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201129103141/https://www.thefa.com/about-football-association/what-we-do/history |url-status=live }} Wembley Stadium was opened in 1923 and became their home ground. The relationship between England and FIFA became strained, and this resulted in their departure from FIFA in 1928, before they rejoined in 1946.{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport3/worldcup2002/hi/team_pages/england/newsid_1739000/1739245.stm |title=England disappointed before '66 |publisher=BBC Sport |date=11 April 2002 |access-date=26 June 2021 |archive-date=26 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210626170202/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport3/worldcup2002/hi/team_pages/england/newsid_1739000/1739245.stm |url-status=live }} As a result, they did not compete in a World Cup until 1950, in which they were beaten in a 1–0 defeat by the United States, failing to get past the first round in one of the most embarrassing defeats in the team's history.{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/england/7823072/England-v-USA-1950-World-Cup-win-over-the-Three-Lions-lives-long-in-the-memory.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220110/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/england/7823072/England-v-USA-1950-World-Cup-win-over-the-Three-Lions-lives-long-in-the-memory.html |archive-date=10 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |location=London |work=The Daily Telegraph |first=Tim |last=Hart |title=England v USA: 1950 World Cup win over the Three Lions lives long in the memory |date=12 June 2010}}{{cbignore}}

Their first defeat on home soil to a foreign team was a 2–0 loss to Ireland, on 21 September 1949 at Goodison Park.{{cite news |url=https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/othersport/arid-30951875.html |title='Eleven men from Éire upset the white shirts of England' |author=Paul Rouse |publisher=The Irish Examiner |date=20 September 2019 |access-date=26 June 2021 |archive-date=26 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210626170159/https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/othersport/arid-30951875.html |url-status=live }} A 6–3 loss in 1953 to Hungary was their second defeat by a foreign team at Wembley.{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2013/nov/25/hungary-england-1953-alf-ramsey |title=England 3–6 Hungary: 60 years on from the game that stunned a nation |author=Jonathan Wilson |work=The Guardian |date=25 November 2013 |access-date=26 June 2021 |archive-date=2 April 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402111530/http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2013/nov/25/hungary-england-1953-alf-ramsey |url-status=live }} In the return match in Budapest, Hungary won 7–1. This stands as England's largest ever defeat. After the game, a bewildered Syd Owen said, "it was like playing men from outer space".{{cite news |url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/article1023170.ece |title=Football's November revolution: Magnificent Magyars storm England's Wembley fortress |first=John |last=Goodbody |newspaper=The Times |date=22 November 2003 |access-date=13 February 2011 |location=London |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110429081007/http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/article1023170.ece |archive-date=29 April 2011 }} In the 1954 FIFA World Cup, England reached the quarter-finals for the first time, and lost 4–2 to reigning champions Uruguay.{{cite news |url=https://www.thefa.com/news/2014/jun/17/england-v-uruguay-past-meetings |title=England v Uruguay past-meetings |publisher=The Football Association |date=18 June 2014 |access-date=26 June 2021 |archive-date=26 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210626174707/https://www.thefa.com/news/2014/jun/17/england-v-uruguay-past-meetings |url-status=live }}

England qualified automatically for the 1970 World Cup in Mexico as reigning champions, and reached the quarter-finals, where they were knocked out by West Germany.

The team then failed to qualify for the 1994 World Cup after losing a controversial game against the Netherlands in Rotterdam, which resulted in Taylor's resignation.

==Colours==

File:Eng1966 football shirt.jpeg]]

England's traditional home colours are white shirts, navy blue shorts and white or black socks. The team has periodically worn an all-white kit.

Although England's first away kits were blue, England's traditional away colours are red shirts, white shorts and red socks. In 1996, England's away kit was changed to grey shirts, shorts and socks. This kit was only worn three times, including against Germany in the semi-final of Euro 1996 but the deviation from the traditional red was unpopular with supporters and the England away kit remained red until 2011, when a navy blue away kit was introduced. The away kit is also sometimes worn during home matches, when a new edition has been released to promote it.

England have occasionally had a third kit. At the 1970 World Cup, England wore a third kit with pale blue shirts, shorts and socks against Czechoslovakia. They had a kit similar to Brazil's, with yellow shirts, yellow socks and blue shorts which they wore in the summer of 1973. For the 1986 World Cup, England had a third kit of pale blue, imitating that worn in Mexico 16 years earlier and England retained pale blue third kits until 1992, but they were rarely used.

Umbro first agreed to manufacture the kit in 1954 and since then has supplied most of the kits, the exceptions being from 1959 to 1965 with Bukta and 1974–1984 with Admiral. Nike purchased Umbro in 2008 and took over as kit supplier in 2013 following their sale of the Umbro brand.{{cite web|title=England's Uniforms and Playing Kits|url=http://www.englandfootballonline.com/teamunif/Unif.html|website=EnglandFootballOnline.com|access-date=30 October 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080115085155/http://www.englandfootballonline.com/TeamUnif/Unif.html|archive-date=15 January 2008|url-status=live}}

The original Empire Stadium was built in Wembley, London, for the British Empire Exhibition.{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1924/06/17/archives/asks-premier-to-stop-rodeo-steer-roping-british-society-appeals-in.html |title=Asks Premier to stop rodeo steer roping; British Society appeals 'in name of humanity' against contest of American cowboys |work=The New York Times |date=17 June 1924 |access-date=16 September 2022 |archive-date=20 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220920165017/https://www.nytimes.com/1924/06/17/archives/asks-premier-to-stop-rodeo-steer-roping-british-society-appeals-in.html |url-status=live }}{{cite news |url=https://www.open.ac.uk/researchprojects/makingbritain/content/1924-british-empire-exhibition |title=1924 British Empire Exhibition |author=Open University |access-date=16 September 2022 |archive-date=20 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220920170540/https://www.open.ac.uk/researchprojects/makingbritain/content/1924-british-empire-exhibition |url-status=live }}

England played their first match at the stadium in 1924 against Scotland{{cite news |url=https://www.irishnews.com/sport/2018/04/13/news/on-this-day-april-13-1924-england-played-their-first-international-at-wembley-1303520/ |title=On this day, April 13, 1924, England played their first international at Wembley |publisher=The Irish News |date=13 April 2018 |access-date=16 September 2022 |archive-date=20 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220920163637/https://www.irishnews.com/sport/2018/04/13/news/on-this-day-april-13-1924-england-played-their-first-international-at-wembley-1303520/ |url-status=live }} and for the next 27 years Wembley was used as a venue for matches against Scotland only. The stadium later became known simply as Wembley Stadium and it became England's permanent home stadium during the 1950s. In October 2000, the stadium closed its doors, ending with a defeat against Germany.{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/may/29/golden-goal-dietmar-hamann-for-germany-v-england-2000 |title=Golden Goal: Dietmar Hamann for Germany v England (2000) |author=Alex Hess |work=The Guardian |date=29 May 2020 |access-date=16 September 2022 |archive-date=20 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220920163525/https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/may/29/golden-goal-dietmar-hamann-for-germany-v-england-2000 |url-status=live }}

This stadium was demolished during the period of 2002–03, and work began to completely rebuild it.{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/2729971.stm |title=End of era for Wembley |publisher=BBC Sport |date=7 February 2003 |access-date=16 September 2022 |archive-date=20 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220920163657/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/2729971.stm |url-status=live }} During this time, England played at venues across the country, though by the time of the 2006 World Cup qualification, this had largely settled down to having Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium as the primary venue, with Newcastle United's St. James' Park used on occasions when Old Trafford was unavailable.{{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/international/old-trafford-to-stage-four-home-world-cup-qualifiers-554100.html |title=Old Trafford to stage four home World Cup qualifiers |author=Martyn Ziegler |work=The Independent |date=23 July 2004 |access-date=16 September 2022 |archive-date=20 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220920170946/https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/international/old-trafford-to-stage-four-home-world-cup-qualifiers-554100.html |url-status=live }}

England's three main rivalries are with Scotland, Germany and Argentina.{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/euro-2021/2021/06/29/englands-worst-top-football-rivalries-germany-euro-2020/ |title=England's top 10 football rivalries — but where do Germany rank? |author=Thom Gibbs |publisher=The Telegraph |date=29 June 2021 |access-date=3 March 2023 |archive-date=24 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230824151718/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/euro-2021/2021/06/29/englands-worst-top-football-rivalries-germany-euro-2020/ |url-status=live }} Smaller rivalries with France, Wales and the Republic of Ireland have also been observed.{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/dec/09/france-hugo-lloris-predicts-big-battle-with-england-in-world-cup-quarter-final-qatar-2022 |title=France's Hugo Lloris predicts 'big battle' with England in World Cup quarter-final |author=Ben Fisher |work=The Guardian |date=9 December 2022 |access-date=16 July 2023 |archive-date=17 June 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230617185918/https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/dec/09/france-hugo-lloris-predicts-big-battle-with-england-in-world-cup-quarter-final-qatar-2022 |url-status=live }}{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63742682 |title=World Cup 2022: 'Anyone but England' - the game Wales do not want |author=Dafydd Pritchard |publisher=BBC Sport |date=29 November 2022 |access-date=16 July 2023 |archive-date=14 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230814135417/https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63742682 |url-status=live }}{{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/international/england-ireland-jack-grealish-declan-rice-b1721479.html |title=What Ireland really feels about England, an 800-year rivalry of shades of grey, green and white |author=Miguel Delaney |publisher=Independent |date=12 November 2020 |access-date=16 July 2023 |archive-date=14 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230814122856/https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/international/england-ireland-jack-grealish-declan-rice-b1721479.html |url-status=live }}

England's rivalry with Scotland is one of the fiercest international rivalries that exists.{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/special_report/1999/11/99/battle_of_britain/473756.stm |title=A history of fierce football rivalry |publisher=BBC News |date=13 October 1999 |access-date=17 June 2021 |archive-date=15 September 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070915135505/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/special_report/1999/11/99/battle_of_britain/473756.stm |url-status=live }}{{cite news |url=http://edition.cnn.com/2008/SPORT/football/11/06/first11.rivalries/index.html |title=Top 10 international rivalries |publisher=CNN |date=6 November 2008 |access-date=29 June 2010 |last=Duke |first=Greg |archive-date=20 February 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200220051229/http://edition.cnn.com/2008/SPORT/football/11/06/first11.rivalries/index.html |url-status=live }} It is the oldest international fixture in the world, first played in 1872 at Hamilton Crescent, Glasgow.{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-63781834 |title=The day Scotland and England played the first football international |author=Donald Pollock |publisher=BBC News |date=30 November 2022 |access-date=3 March 2023 |archive-date=24 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230824151718/https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-63781834 |url-status=live }} The history of the British Isles has led to much rivalry between the nations in many forms, and the social and cultural effects of centuries of antagonism and conflict between the two has contributed to the intense nature of the sporting contests. Scottish nationalism has also been a factor in the Scots' desire to defeat England above all other rivals, with Scottish sports journalists traditionally referring to the English as the "Auld Enemy".{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/517293.stm|title=Scots relish Auld Enemy showdown|publisher=BBC News|date=12 November 1999|access-date=16 September 2007|archive-date=2 June 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220602172508/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/517293.stm|url-status=live}} The footballing rivalry has diminished somewhat since the late 1970s, particularly since the annual fixture stopped in 1989. For England, games against Germany and Argentina are now considered to be more important than the historic rivalry with Scotland.{{cite news |url=http://www.newsandstar.co.uk/features/people/you-re-watching-the-world-cup-from-cumbria-the-home-of-international-football-1.721408?referrerPath=home |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120906004929/http://www.newsandstar.co.uk/features/people/you-re-watching-the-world-cup-from-cumbria-the-home-of-international-football-1.721408?referrerPath=home |url-status=dead |archive-date=6 September 2012 |title=You're watching the World Cup from Cumbria – the home of international football... |work=News and Star |date=28 June 2010 |access-date=29 June 2010 }}

England's rivalry with Germany is considered to be mainly an English phenomenon—in the run-up to any competition match between the two teams, many UK newspapers will print articles detailing results of previous encounters, such as England's win in the 1966 World Cup final and the semi-final penalty shoot-out defeats of the 1990 World Cup and Euro 96.{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/jun/25/england-germany-football-teams-tuesday-heartbreak |title=Rivalry?

Germany have won seven major tournaments. Germany have reached 15 semi-finals since the 'one World Cup' of 1966."{{cite web | url= https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2021/jun/26/germany-england-rivalry-euro-2020 | title=Germany, England's deepest rivals?

England's rivalry with Argentina is highly competitive. Games between the two teams, even those that are only friendly matches, are often marked by notable and sometimes controversial incidents such as the hand of God in 1986.{{cite web|url=http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/diego-maradona-the-hand-of-god-the-most-infamous-goal-in/15sev9f2t2sn814f2n8d2ah3zc|title=Diego Maradona & the Hand of God: The most infamous goal in World Cup history|work=Goal|access-date=22 June 2018|archive-date=22 June 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180622193312/http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/diego-maradona-the-hand-of-god-the-most-infamous-goal-in/15sev9f2t2sn814f2n8d2ah3zc|url-status=live}}{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2002/may/19/worldcupfootball2002.football2|title=England v Argentina – A history|last=Carlin|first=John|date=19 May 2002|work=The Guardian|access-date=22 June 2018|archive-date=8 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201108103757/https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2002/may/19/worldcupfootball2002.football2|url-status=live}} The rivalry is unusual in that it is an intercontinental one; typically such footballing rivalries exist between bordering nations. England is regarded in Argentina as one of the major rivals of the national football team, matched only by Brazil and Uruguay. The rivalry is, to a lesser extent reciprocal in England, locally described as a grudge match although matches against Germany carry a greater significance in popular perception. The rivalry emerged across several games during the latter half of the 20th century, even though as of 2008 the teams have played each other on only 14 occasions in full internationals.{{cite news |url=https://www.11v11.com/teams/england/tab/opposingTeams/opposition/Argentina/ |title=England national football team: record v Argentina |website=11v11 |access-date=6 March 2023 |archive-date=14 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230814145919/https://www.11v11.com/teams/england/tab/opposingTeams/opposition/Argentina/ |url-status=live }} The rivalry was intensified, particularly in Argentina, by non-footballing events, especially the 1982 Falklands War between Argentina and the United Kingdom.{{cite web |last=Dawnay |first=Oliver |url=https://talksport.com/football/559182/argentina-legend-diego-maradona-says-hand-of-god-goal-against-england-revenge-falklands-war |title=Argentina legend Diego Maradona says 'Hand of God' goal against England was 'symbolic revenge' for the Falklands War |publisher=Talksport |date=6 June 2019 |access-date=19 January 2020 |archive-date=21 February 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200221133816/https://talksport.com/football/559182/argentina-legend-diego-maradona-says-hand-of-god-goal-against-england-revenge-falklands-war/ |url-status=live }} England and Argentina have not met since a friendly in November 2005.

=Media coverage=

All England matches are broadcast with full commentary on talkSPORT and BBC Radio 5 Live. From the 2008–09 season until the 2017–18 season, England's home and away qualifiers, and friendlies both home and away were broadcast live on ITV Sport (often with the exception of STV, the ITV franchisee in central and northern Scotland). England's away qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup were shown on Setanta Sports until that company's collapse. As a result of Setanta Sports's demise, England's World Cup qualifier in Ukraine on 10 October 2009 was shown in the United Kingdom on a pay-per-view basis via the internet only. This one-off event was the first time an England game had been screened in such a way. The number of subscribers, paying between £4.99 and £11.99 each, was estimated at between 250,000 and 300,000 and the total number of viewers at around 500,000.{{cite news |title=Meltdown averted as England match draws online audience of 500,000 |newspaper=The Guardian |date=11 October 2009 |last=Gibson |first=Owen |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2009/oct/11/england-ukraine-internet-viewing-figures |access-date=23 February 2010 |location=London |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140808042823/http://www.theguardian.com/football/2009/oct/11/england-ukraine-internet-viewing-figures |archive-date=8 August 2014 |url-status=live }} In 2018, Sky Sports broadcast the England UEFA Nations League and in-season friendlies, until 2021 and ITV Sport broadcast the European qualifiers for Euro-World Cups and pre-tournament friendlies (after the Nations League group matches end), until 2022.{{cite web|url=http://www.thefa.com/news/2017/jan/26/260117-england-uefa-broadcast-2018-2022-itv-sky|title=England matches to be broadcast by ITV and Sky Sports|last=Association|first=The Football|publisher=The Football Association|language=en|access-date=19 September 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171224064012/http://www.thefa.com/news/2017/jan/26/260117-england-uefa-broadcast-2018-2022-itv-sky|archive-date=24 December 2017|url-status=live}} In April 2022, Channel 4 won the rights for England matches until June 2024, including 2022–23 UEFA Nations League matches, Euro 2024 qualifying games, and friendlies. 2022 World Cup rights remained with the BBC and ITV.{{cite web |author=Dom Smith |url=https://englandfootball.org/2022/04/30/channel-4s-england-deal-is-a-victory-for-those-who-too-often-lose/ |title=Channel 4's England Deal Is a Victory for Those Who Too Often Lose |publisher=Englandfootball.org |date=30 April 2022 |access-date=5 May 2022 |archive-date=30 April 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220430010540/https://englandfootball.org/2022/04/30/channel-4s-england-deal-is-a-victory-for-those-who-too-often-lose/ |url-status=live }}
