England national football team

 

The England national football team stands as the world's most ancient representative in the realm of international football. Commencing its journey in the year 1872, this illustrious squad operates under the esteemed governance of The Football Association (FA). Their pursuits lead them to participate in three of the paramount international contests held exclusively for European nations: the FIFA World Cup, the UEFA European Championship, and the UEFA Nations League.
