England’s final two World Cup warm-up friendlies will likely take place in sweltering Florida heat after the Three Lions’ schedule was finalised on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Thomas Tuchel’s men will take on New Zealand on June 6 in Tampa Bay before facing Costa Rica four days later in Orlando.<\/p>\n

Both games will kick off at 1600 local time (2000GMT) as England aim to acclimatise for punishing conditions once the competition gets underway.<\/p>\n

Tuchel’s squad will then head to Kansas City, where they will be based at the Soccer Swope Village for the duration of the tournament.<\/p>\n

The Missouri city was the English Football Association’s preferred location, despite two of their group games and several potential knockout matches being on the east coast of the United States.<\/p>\n

England begin their quest for a first major tournament win since 1966 against Croatia in Dallas on June 17.<\/p>\n

The side ranked fourth in the world then face Ghana in Boston and Panama in New Jersey.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
