England will play New Zealand and Costa Rica in the US ahead of the World Cup.
The Three Lions will stage a pre-tournament camp in south Florida before, as previously reported, moving to Kansas City when the action kicks off.
And while in the Sunshine State they will play matches against fellow qualifiers the All Whites and Costa Rica, who failed to make the tournament. The match against New Zealand will be on June 6 and is likely to be held in Tampa. The final fixture will take place on June 10 on the eve of the tournament and will be staged in either Orlando or Miami.
The FA have now confirmed that England will head to Kansas City for the duration of their stay at the tournament, as previously reported by Daily Mail Sport. They will stage their training base at the Swope Soccer Village, which is the home of MLS outfit Sporting Kansas City’s academy.
Earlier this month we revealed that Thomas Tuchel and his Three Lions had booked out a £197-a-night boutique hotel in Missouri. Harry Kane and co are set to make The Inn at Meadowbrook, in the grounds of a former country club, their home around matches.
Argentina and the Netherlands will also be in the city, thanks mainly to its convenient location in the centre of the US.

World champions Argentina are thought to have had first choice with FIFA as they play a game in Kansas City and have opted for the Minerals training centre, which is home to Sporting KC and until recently was the base for the US National Team.
The clash with New Zealand will be the first since a double-header in 1991. In 2018, England prepared for Russia with a 2-0 win over Costa Rica at Elland Road.
Tickets are yet to go on sale but the hope of the FA is to make them affordable for fans, in contrast with prices for World Cup matches.
England’s final match on home soil will be against Japan at Wembley on March 31.
