Nottngham Forest news: City Ground to host England vs Senegal

The City Ground is set to host England in a friendly against Senegal in June – the first time a men’s senior match has been played at the stadium in 84 years.

The last time England visited Nottingham Forest’s ground was a wartime friendly against Wales in 1941 – a game won 4-1 by the Three Lions. The last time a competitive England match was held there was in 1909, also against Wales.

“While I know Wembley is our home, I also understand the importance of taking the team around the country when we are able to and the opportunity to experience playing at a famous old English stadium, such as the City Ground, is one we can all look forward to,” said new England boss Thomas Tuchel.
