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.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> 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.<ref name=":0">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

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

{{#invoke:Labelled list hatnote|labelledList|Main article|Main articles|Main page|Main pages}}

Early years

File:England 1893.jpg

The England team before a match against Scotland 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.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> 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.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> 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.<ref name="A history of the FA">Template:Cite news</ref> Wembley Stadium was opened in 1923 and became their home ground.<ref name="A history of the FA"/> The relationship between England and FIFA became strained, and this resulted in their departure from FIFA in 1928, before they rejoined in 1946.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> 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.<ref>Template:Cite newsTemplate:Cbignore</ref>

Their first defeat on home soil to a foreign team was a 2–0 loss to Ireland, on 21 September 1949 at Goodison Park.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> A 6–3 loss in 1953 to Hungary was their second defeat by a foreign team at Wembley.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> 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".<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> In the 1954 FIFA World Cup, England reached the quarter-finals for the first time, and lost 4–2 to reigning champions Uruguay.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Walter Winterbottom and Alf Ramsey

Although Walter Winterbottom was appointed as England's first full-time manager in 1946, the team was still picked by a committee until Alf Ramsey took over in 1963.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The 1966 World Cup was hosted in England and Ramsey guided England to victory with a 4–2 win against West Germany after extra time in the final, during which Geoff Hurst scored a hat-trick.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> In UEFA Euro 1968, the team reached the semi-finals for the first time, being eliminated by Yugoslavia.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

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. England had been 2–0 up, but were eventually beaten 3–2 after extra time.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> They then failed to qualify for Euro 1972 and the 1974 World Cup, leading to Ramsey's dismissal by the FA.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Don Revie, Ron Greenwood and Bobby Robson

Following Ramsey's dismissal, Joe Mercer took immediate temporary charge of England for a seven-match spell until Don Revie was appointed as new permanent manager in 1974.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Under Revie, the team underperformed and failed to qualify for either Euro 1976 or the 1978 World Cup.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Revie resigned in 1977 and was replaced by Ron Greenwood, under whom performances improved. The team qualified for Euro 1980 without losing any of their games, but exited in the group stage of the final tournament.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> They also qualified for the 1982 World Cup in Spain; despite not losing a game, they were eliminated at the second group stage.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Bobby Robson managed England from 1982 to 1990.<ref>Template:Cite newsTemplate:Cbignore</ref> Although the team failed to qualify for Euro 1984, they reached the quarter-finals of the 1986 World Cup, losing 2–1 to Argentina in a game made famous by two highly contrasting goals scored by Diego Maradona – the first being blatantly knocked in by his hand, prompting his "Hand of God" remark, the second being an outstandingly skilful individual goal, involving high speed dribbling past several opponents.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> England striker Gary Lineker finished as the tournament's top scorer with six goals.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

England went on to lose every match at Euro 1988.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> They next achieved their second best result in the 1990 World Cup by finishing fourth – losing again to West Germany after a closely contested semi-final finishing 1–1 after extra time, then 3–4 in England's first penalty shoot-out.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Despite losing to Italy in the third place play-off, the members of the England team were given bronze medals identical to the Italians'. Due to the team's good performance at the tournament against general expectations, and the emotional nature of the narrow defeat to West Germany,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}Template:Cbignore</ref> the team were welcomed home as heroes and thousands of people lined the streets for an open-top bus parade.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Graham Taylor, Terry Venables, Glenn Hoddle and Kevin Keegan

The 1990s saw four England managers follow Robson, each in the role for a relatively brief period. Graham Taylor was Robson's immediate successor.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> England failed to win any matches at Euro 1992, drawing with tournament winners Denmark and later with France, before being eliminated by host nation Sweden. 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. Taylor faced much newspaper criticism during his tenure for his tactics and team selections.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Between 1994 and 1996, Terry Venables took charge of the team. Hosting Euro 1996, they equalled their best performance at a European Championship, reaching the semi-finals as they did in 1968, before exiting via another penalty shoot-out loss to Germany.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> England striker Alan Shearer was the tournament's top scorer with five goals.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> At Euro 96, the song "Three Lions" by Baddiel, Skinner and the Lightning Seeds became the definitive anthem for fans on the terraces,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }} "Three lions on a shirt / Jules Rimet still gleaming / Thirty years of hurt / never stopped me dreaming"</ref> and popularised the chant "it's coming home".<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Venables announced before the tournament that he would resign at the end of it, following investigations into his personal financial activities and ahead of upcoming court cases. Due to the controversy around him, the FA stressed that he was the coach, not the manager, of the team.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>"Venables is also the only England manager ever to resign from his post because of the muddy personal details set to be showcased in a high-profile trial related to financial irregularities." Template:Cite book</ref>

Venables' successor, Glenn Hoddle, took the team to the 1998 World Cup Template:Emdash in which England were eliminated in the second round, again by Argentina and again on penalties (after a 2–2 draw).<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> In February 1999, Hoddle was sacked by the FA due to controversial comments he had made about disabled people to a newspaper.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Howard Wilkinson took over as caretaker manager for two matches.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Kevin Keegan was then appointed as the new permanent manager and took England to Euro 2000, but the team exited in the group stage and he unexpectedly resigned shortly afterwards.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Sven-Göran Eriksson and Steve McClaren

Peter Taylor was appointed as caretaker manager for one match, before Sven-Göran Eriksson took charge between 2001 and 2006, and was the team's first non-English manager.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Although England's players in this era were dubbed a "golden generation" and only lost five competitive matches during Eriksson's tenure,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> they exited at the quarter-finals of the 2002 World Cup, Euro 2004 and the 2006 World Cup.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> In January 2006 it was announced that Eriksson would leave the role following that year's World Cup.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Steve McClaren was selected to succeed Eriksson, but was sacked on 22 November 2007 after just 18 matches in charge as England failed to qualify for Euro 2008.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> McClaren was criticised for his team selection in his final game – a decisive qualifier against Croatia which England lost 3–2 – particularly the decision to select inexperienced goalkeeper Scott Carson, whose mistake lead to Croatia's first goal.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Fabio Capello, Roy Hodgson and Sam Allardyce

On 14 December 2007, Italian manager Fabio Capello was appointed as McClaren's successor, becoming only the second foreign coach to take the job.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> At the 2010 World Cup, England were considered favourites to top their group<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> but drew their opening two games against the United States and Algeria; this led to questions about the team's spirit, tactics and ability to handle pressure.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Despite this, England progressed to the round of 16, where they were beaten 4–1 by Germany, their heaviest defeat in a World Cup finals tournament match.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> This match became infamous for a ghost goal when Frank Lampard hit a shot from outside the penalty area that bounced down off the crossbar and over the goal line before being cleared by German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, with neither the referee nor the assistant opting to award a goal. Had it been given, the goal would have tied the game 2–2 with England coming from two goals down. This incident – along with similar mistakes at the tournament – lead to an apology from FIFA president Sepp Blatter and was a factor in the subsequent decision to introduce goal-line technology into football.<ref name="nytimes.com">Template:Cite news</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Capello continued as England manager, leading the team's successful qualifying campaign for Euro 2012, before resigning from the role in February 2012 following a disagreement with the FA over their request to remove John Terry from the team captaincy following accusations of racial abuse against the player.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Following Capello's departure, Stuart Pearce was appointed as caretaker manager for one match, after which in May 2012, Roy Hodgson was announced as the new manager, just six weeks before Euro 2012.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> England managed to finish top of their group, but exited the European Championship in the quarter-finals via a penalty shoot-out against Italy.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> In the 2014 World Cup, England were eliminated at the group stage for the first time since 1958.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> At Euro 2016, England were eliminated in the round of 16, losing 2–1 to Iceland<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> in a result that has been described as among their worst ever defeats.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Hodgson tendered his resignation shortly after the full-time whistle,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> with Sam Allardyce announced as his successor in July 2016.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> After one match and only 67 days in charge, Allardyce resigned from his managerial post by mutual agreement following an alleged breach of FA rules. This makes Allardyce the shortest serving permanent England manager.<ref name="BBC News 27 September 2016">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

The motif of the England national football team has three lions passant guardant, the emblem of King Richard I, who reigned from 1189 to 1199.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> In 1872, English players wore white jerseys emblazoned with the three lions crest of the Football Association.<ref name=kits/> The lions, often blue, have had minor changes to colour and appearance.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Initially topped by a crown, this was removed in 1949 when the FA was given an official coat of arms by the College of Arms; this introduced ten Tudor roses, one for each of the regional branches of the FA.<ref name=kits>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation

Colours

File:Eng1966 football shirt.jpeg

England shirt for the 1966 World Cup final

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.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

File:Wembley enggermatch.jpg

Wembley Stadium during a friendly match between England and Germany

For the first 50 years of their existence, England played their home matches all around the country. They initially used cricket grounds before later moving on to football club stadiums. The original Empire Stadium was built in Wembley, London, for the British Empire Exhibition.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

England played their first match at the stadium in 1924 against Scotland<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> 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.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

This stadium was demolished during the period of 2002–03, and work began to completely rebuild it.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> 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.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Their first match in the new Wembley Stadium was in March 2007 when they drew with Brazil.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The stadium is now owned by the Football Association, via its subsidiary Wembley National Stadium Limited.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Rivalries

{{#invoke:Labelled list hatnote|labelledList|Main article|Main articles|Main page|Main pages}} England's three main rivalries are with Scotland, Germany and Argentina.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Smaller rivalries with France, Wales and the Republic of Ireland have also been observed.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

England's rivalry with Scotland is one of the fiercest international rivalries that exists.<ref name=HistoryFierce>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> It is the oldest international fixture in the world, first played in 1872 at Hamilton Crescent, Glasgow.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> 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".<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> 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.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

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.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> This rivalry has diminished significantly in recent years.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Germans consider Italy, the Netherlands and France to be their greater rivals, and Barney Ronay of The Guardian wrote in 2021 that the rivalry with England "isn't a close rivalry at all, not if we accept the standard definition that both sides need to be aware that it exists. Germany have won seven major tournaments. Germany have reached 15 semi-finals since the 'one World Cup' of 1966."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

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.<ref name="goal">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="Arg">Template:Cite news</ref> 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.<ref name="Arg"/> 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.<ref name="11v11">Template:Cite news</ref> The rivalry was intensified, particularly in Argentina, by non-footballing events, especially the 1982 Falklands War between Argentina and the United Kingdom.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> England and Argentina have not met since a friendly in November 2005.<ref name="11v11"/>

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.
