“Last month we started our campaign strongly with two good performances against Ukraine and Iceland, and we want to continue that momentum,” said Wiegman.

“These upcoming matches against Spain and Iceland are important steps in our qualification journey, and we’re fully focused on performing at our highest level.

“This international window is very special for our team. Marking the 500th game in the Lionesses’ history is something we are all incredibly proud of, and it connects us to every player who has helped build this team over so many years.

“Facing Spain at Wembley in front of our fans will be a fantastic challenge, and travelling to Iceland for such a historic occasion will motivate us even more to be at our best too.”

June will bring the final round of England’s World Cup qualifiers, beginning with the return fixture against Spain on Friday 5 June at Son Moix Stadium in Palma, Mallorca [kick-off TBC].

The Lionesses will then return home for their concluding group-stage qualifier against Ukraine on Tuesday 9 June at Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool [8pm BST]. Tickets for this match are still available to order now.
