The Jamaica Reggae Girlz are set to face 2022 European champions and 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup runners-up England for an international friendly on June 29 at the King Power Stadium in Leicester.

This will be the first-ever meeting between Jamaica and England in women’s international football and follows a June 6 friendly against the United States in Missouri.

For the Reggae Girlz, both matches serve as crucial preparation ahead of the 2027 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. England, meanwhile, will use the June 29 fixture to fine-tune their squad before facing France, the Netherlands, and Wales in the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 group stage this July.

“We look forward to this match. I know our passionate diaspora in the Midlands and across the UK will be excited to support our team in person,” said head coach Hubert Busby. “This match serves as another vital test as we head into the qualifiers later this year.”
