England will play New Zealand and Costa Rica in Tampa and Orlando in the final preparatory matches for this summer’s World Cup campaign, the English Football Association said on Thursday.
New Zealand, playing its first World Cup since 2010, will play England on June 6 before Thomas Tuchel’s side take on Costa Rica, who reached the quarter-finals four days later in 2014.

“Both matches will form an important part of England’s pre-season camp in South Florida before the team moves to the team’s base camp in Kansas City, Missouri for the duration of the tournament,” the FA said in a statement.
England, who reached the quarter-finals in the previous edition, will start their Group L campaign against Croatia on June 17.
