Ahead of their UEFA Women’s Euro title defence, England host Jamaica in a warm-up friendly at the King Power Stadium.
Placed within a tricky group at UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 with France, Netherlands and Wales, this is England’s last chance to finesse their plans for the tournament which takes place in Switzerland.
Jamaica meanwhile come into this friendly with just four wins in their last ten friendlies across the last 12 months, so will be looking to spring a surprise with; Chantelle Swaby, Atlanta Primus and Reanna Blades familiar to English football fans.

When is Kick-Off?

Stat Attack
- England are facing Jamaica for the first time in all women’s competitions.
- Jamaica are making their first away visit to England in all competitions.
- England have kept clean sheets in their last five home matches in all competitions (W4, D1), during which they scored 13 goals.
- Jamaica have conceded 11 goals in their last three matches without reply (L3), of which two of those three losses came against Mexico in April by 3-0 and 4-0 results then USA in early June.
Prediction
Having struggled to mount much attacking threat in the second half of their away loss to Spain in their concluding Women’s Nations League fixture, England now need to show more attack if want to go into their Women’s Euro title defence on a positive note.
Jamaica though will hopefully be better defensively than they had been in their last few matches because if they concede first, I can see just one outcome looming.
I am however unsure as to what expect because England can’t afford to show their hand here going into their Euro opener against France, yet Jamaica are there for the taking so I can see a clinical routine home win with minimal fuss.
Prediction: England 2-0 Jamaica
