England National Football Team Profile

Profile of the England national football team history top score most caps players most appearances, the FA Football Association was founded on 1863 and represents governing body for the football in England for international competitions and is controlled by the FA. Became a member of UEFA Affiliation in 1954 and FIFA Affiliation in 1905.

The first international games were those played between England and Scotland in the 1870s. A crowd of 4,000 watched the first official international in Glasgow in 1872. It was not until 1908, when an England side toured central Europe, that teams from outside Britain were encountered. England contest the FIFA World Cup and UEFA European Football Championships which alternate biennially. England won the World Cup in 1966, when they hosted the finals, defeating West Germany 4–2 in extra time in the final. Their best performance since was a semi-final appearance in 1990. England have never won the UEFA European Football Championship – their best performance being semi-final appearances at the 1968 and 1996 Championships.

To begin with, England had no permanent home stadium. They joined FIFA in 1906 and played their first ever games against countries other than the Home Nations on a tour of Central Europe in 1908. Wembley Stadium was opened in 1923 and became their home ground. The FA was represented at a FIFA meeting for the first time in 1906, but withdrew in 1920 because it refused to be associated with certain countries, before rejoining in 1924. However, it dropped out again four years later in a dispute over FIFA's definition of amateurism. The FA renewed its FIFA ties in 1946, and an England team competed in its maiden FIFA World Cup in Brazil in 1950.

Bobby Charlton played a crucial role in England's re-emergence as a world football power in the 1960s, alongside team-mates of the calibre of Gordon Banks, Bobby Moore and Martin Peters. Ably managed by Alf Ramsey, England won the World Cup in 1966.
