All Whites to play world No. 4 England at London’s iconic Wembley Stadium in November

New Zealand Football confirms that it has locked in a blockbuster clash with world No. 4 England at London’s iconic Wembley Stadium on November 13th.

The match will be held behind closed doors five weeks after the All Whites play world No. 1 Belgium in Brussels on October 9, setting up a thrilling finish to 2020.

All Whites coach Danny Hay is preparing to spend eight weeks away from New Zealand in order to oversee soccer friendlies against two of the top-five ranked nations in world football.

But it is looking increasingly likely that he will have to select a squad of predominantly European-based players due to the strict border restrictions in place to combat Covid-19, robbing Hay of his first-choice centre-back pairing; Winston Reid and Michael Boxall and a host of other stars.

The All Whites last played England at Wellington’s Athletic Park in 1991 but the two teams have never met outside of New Zealand.
