internationals squad - The Weaver Stadium - June 2018 (1)

Nantwich Town have been selected to host two U17 internationals in October with Brazil, Russia and USA all set to play at the Weaver Stadium, writes Steve Sharman.

England will host Brazil, Russia and USA in an U17s Tournament in October.

The Young Lions will kick-off their tournament against USA at the Deva Stadium in Chester on Friday October 12.

Steve Cooper’s side will then host Russia at Montgomery Waters Meadow Stadium in Shrewsbury on Sunday October 14, before playing Brazil in their final game at AFC Telford United’s New Bucks Head Stadium on Tuesday October 16.

Nantwich Town will host Russia v Brazil on Friday October 12 and Brazil v USA on Sunday October 14.

USA v Russia will take place at Witton Albion’s Wincham Park on Tuesday October 16.

Tickets are on sale now, priced £3 for adults and £1 for children via each club’s respective box office.

As the top-ranked team in UEFA’s coefficient, England have received a bye into the elite qualifying round of the 2019 Euros, with those matches taking place in March.

Cooper said: “This will be the first time this group will have played for us in England outside of St George’s Park, and that stadium environment is so important in their long-term development and experiencing playing in front of big crowds.

“We’ve worked hard over the past five years or so to develop a demanding and thoughtful games programme for this age group and we’ve secured some tough opposition for this tournament.

“We have two teams from outside Europe in Brazil and USA, which is a good opportunity to test ourselves against different styles of play, while Russia will be bringing an U18 side which will be a challenge for us too.

“We’re proud to be playing in different stadiums in the country and showing supporters what this team is about.

“We had some excellent crowds when we hosted last summer’s Euros and I really hope supporters come out to these games as it’s such a boost for the players and really helps benefit their development.”

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
