England will play their final warm-up matches for the World Cup against New Zealand and Costa Rica in Tampa Bay and Orlando respectively after finally confirming venues.

The friendly against New Zealand will take place at the Raymond James Stadium on 6 June at 4pm (9pm BST) before Thomas Tuchel’s men move across Florida to the Inter&Co Stadium in Orlando for the match with Costa Rica, with another 4pm (9pm BST) kick-off on 10 June.

Both games were announced in February but the Football Association has only just been able to announce the locations.

Tuchel’s side will have a lengthy stint in Florida which will give the squad chance to acclimatise to what are expected to be sweltering conditions.

England will then head into camp in Kansas City, where they will be based at the Soccer Swope Village for the duration of the tournament.

The Missouri city was their preferred location, despite two of their group games and several potential knockout matches being on the east coast.

Swope Soccer Village is one of the training bases of MLS side Sporting Kansas City and has state-of-the-art facilities.

England are in Group L, meaning they will be among the last sides to take to the field in the tournament.

They begin against Croatia in Dallas on 17 June, six days after the tournament opener, then head to Boston to take on Ghana on 23 June before closing their group stage against Panama in New Jersey on 27 June.

England have not played New Zealand since a tour Down Under in 1991, winning 1-0 and 2-0 under Graham Taylor.

They have met Costa Rica more recently, suffering defeat in the disappointing 2014 World Cup group stage and then winning in a home friendly ahead of the 2018 edition.

Preparations for the tournament began in earnest last with Wembley friendlies against Uruguay and Japan, which threw up more questions than answers for Tuchel.

A second-string squad drew 1-1 with the South Americans before a team bereft of Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham then lost 1-0 to the Asian side.
