Article body
England will play UEFA EURO 2008™ co-hosts Switzerland in a friendly on 6 February.
New year date
The Football Association has confirmed that the game will take place early next year at Wembley. The match could be the first in charge for a new England manager, provided the FA has appointed a replacement for Steve McClaren by then. England, who were pipped to a place at UEFA EURO 2008™ by Russia and Croatia, are also scheduled to face France in Paris on 26 March. The Switzerland fixture will be the 20th game between the two countries, with England winning 12, drawing four and losing three. Their most recent encounter was a 3-0 England victory at UEFA EURO 2004™.
