Lionesses to face Jamaica at Leicester’s King Power Stadium
England Women will take on Jamaica at Leicester’s King Power Stadium on Sunday 29 June in their final fixture before heading to UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 in Switzerland.
Kicking off at 5pm and broadcast live on ITV Sport, the match will be the first ever meeting between the two sides and a key part of England’s final preparations ahead of their group stage opener against France the following week.
It’s the latest major international women’s fixture to take place at King Power Stadium, following the Lionesses’ 1-0 win over Belgium in a Nations League match there last October.
Jamaica returns to the venue after playing a friendly in Leicester last year. The Reggae Girlz made history at the 2023 FIFA World Cup by reaching the knockout stages for the first time and knocking out Brazil in the process.
Leicester City Chief Executive Susan Whelan said: “Hosting England’s final match before EURO 2025 is a tremendous honour for Leicester City. It highlights our ongoing commitment to promoting elite women’s football and reinforces King Power Stadium’s reputation as a venue for significant international sporting occasions.
“We look forward to welcoming both teams and their supporters for a special evening of football, as well as wishing Sarina and her squad the very best as they seek to retain the European title they won so memorably in 2022.”
England manager Wiegman said: “I am really pleased to be able to play a good game to finalise our EUROs preparations on English soil. Jamaica will be a difficult test, they’re a nation we haven’t faced before and a real opportunity for us to keep learning and growing as a team. They are building as a team themselves and have been doing really well, especially at the last World Cup. It will be a special occasion and atmosphere in a great stadium which we have performed well at in the past.
“We will do our best to put on a good performance and make it a memorable send-off moment for both the team and the fans. There will only be one week until our opening match against France in Zurich so this is an important milestone in our preparation.”
