Rams set to host England Under-21s game

Derby County’s Pride Park Stadium is set to host an England Men’s Under-21s game next month.

Managed by former Rams midfielder Lee Carsley, they were the winners of the 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship in July, having also won the competition in 2023.

The Under-21s will face Andorra, for their first home fixture since that summer triumph, in a 2027 UEFA European Under-21 Championship Group D qualifier, on Monday 13 October.

It will be the seventh time that Pride Park has hosted an England Under-21s fixture, with the most recent being in 2014 against Wales.

Derby County’s chief executive Stephen Pearce said: “We are delighted that the Football Association has selected Pride Park Stadium as the venue for England Under-21s’ first home match since winning the 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.

“It will, no doubt, be a fantastic occasion for the city of Derby and we will be working with the Football Association to welcome a strong crowd to Pride Park.”
