Molineux has been confirmed as the host venue for England’s Uefa Nations League games in June.

Gareth Southgate’s side are due to face Italy on June 11 and Hungary three days later as part of their Group 3 campaign.

The Italy match will be played behind closed doors as a punishment for the unrest at Wembley Stadium during the Euro 2020 final, but the Hungary fixture will see supporters present.

Both matches will take place at Molineux, which is the home of Premier League side Wolves, and continues the trend of Southgate’s side going on the road away from Wembley ahead of a major tournament.

Since the build-up to Euro 2016, England have played at the likes of Leicester, Leeds and Sunderland.

The senior men’s team have played at Molineux, which will also host the Lionesses next week, on four previous occasions, with the last of those matches coming all the way back in December 1956.
