The England men’s Elite League squad will be in Iberia for two games during the March international window, with a 22-man group selected.

With Ben Futcher returning as head coach following his interim spell with the men’s under-21s last autumn, the Young Lions will travel to face Portugal in their first game of the month in the Euro Elite League on Friday 21 March at the Municipal Stadium in Leiria (4pm GMT).

They will then cross the border into Spain for an international against Switzerland, staged at the Marbella Football Centre on Monday 24 March (7pm GMT).

It's been an impressive campaign so far for the ELS, who have remained unbeaten during the 2024-25 season.

Last time out in November, the ELS enjoyed a 4-0 victory over Germany in Chesterfield before sharing a 1-1 draw with Poland while under the charge of interim head coach Paul Nevin.
