Original Umbro football polo England 2000/02

The England national football team represents England, not the entire United Kingdom, in international football competitions such as the World Cup and European Championship.

Each of the four Home Nations (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) has its own football association, its own league and its own national team. England is by far the most successful of the four.

In 1966 England became world champion in their own country. After that, it lost four more times in the semi-finals of a major international tournament (European Championship 1968, World Cup 1990, European Championship 1996 and World Cup 2018) and only reached the final again at the 2020 European Football Championship.
