England faced Jamaica in an international friendly at King Power Stadium in Leicester on June 29, 2025, as their final warm-up before the 2025 Women's Euro. The Lionesses are preparing to defend their 2022 title in Switzerland.
England enters the match following a 2-1 defeat to Spain on June 3 and hoped to bounce back with a stronger performance. Jamaica, like their opponents, has been in disappointing form, suffering three consecutive defeats to the USA and Mexico.
England has shown strong form at home, keeping five consecutive clean sheets. However, Jamaica has struggled to prevent opponents from scoring, conceding in their last four matches.
Sarina Wiegman is managing Lauren James's minutes as she returns from a hamstring injury. While James is in good form, she may come off the bench to gradually increase her playing time. Everyone else is fit enough to play 90 minutes. Wiegman wants to assess her team's readiness against a Jamaican side that reached the last 16 of the 2023 World Cup. Jamaica, however, is missing key players, including their captain and star striker Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw.
Alessia Russo is expected to handle any pressure and perform well in big games, thanks to an unbelievable season. Her teammates need to provide her with service and confidence.
The match kicked off at 16:00 UTC. In the United States, the match was available on Fubo and CBS Sports Network.
