Having qualified for the World A Group Championship, the England Senior team is working hard to ensure they stay up in the top flight by undergoing their most professional preparation ever.
“The objective is to give the players more international experience, grow the team spirit and to improve our defensive and attacking systems” said Coach Carlos Amaral.
“It’s important to play international opponents as much as we can, and on top of our recent experience at the Tournament of nations in Montreaux, we are travelling tonight to participate in a weekend tournament in Tourcoing, France.”
