England friendly at the Walkers Stadium

This will be the first full international to be hosted at Filbert Street or the Walkers Stadium although England’s Under-21s have played at a Leicester ground on three occasions.

The FA’s Director of Marketing and Communications Paul Barber said: “We’re delighted to be staging a senior international at the Walkers Stadium.

“It has been a very difficult time for everyone connected with the club, so it is appropriate that the national team fixture coincides with such an upturn in Leicester City’s fortunes.

“The Walkers Stadium is a terrific stage for international football and I’m sure we can look forward to a tremendous atmosphere in front of a capacity crowd in June.”
