England

The England national team, nicknamed the Three Lions, represents England in international football competitions. Considered the birthplace of modern football, England is one of the most prestigious and followed national teams in the world. Affiliated with FIFA since 1905, the team won the World Cup in 1966 at home, their only major title to date.

The Three Lions play their home matches at the legendary Wembley Stadium, a 90,000-capacity venue rebuilt in 2007, symbolizing English football. England has an intense historic rivalry with Scotland, dating back to the first international football match in 1872, and with Germany following World Cup encounters. More recently, the team reached the Euro 2020 final (played in 2021) and the 2018 World Cup semi-finals in Russia.

Legends like Bobby Moore, Gary Lineker, David Beckham, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, and Wayne Rooney have marked the team's history. Under Gareth Southgate's management since 2016, England has regained positive momentum and an attractive playing style. The Three Lions, with a talented generation including Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, and Bukayo Saka, aspire to win a new major title and honor their status as football's founding nation.
