Upcoming matches at Pinatar Arena and Enrique Roca stadium for WU23 Friendly Finals

Final fixtures take place on April 16 and 17 across both venues, with all matches open to the public free of charge

The WU23 Friendly Finals are moving into their final stage in the Region of Murcia, with the last round of matches now confirmed after a busy few days of international football.

All 12 under-23 national teams have now arrived and settled in, with early arrivals such as Germany, the Netherlands and the United States training bases including La Finca Resort and La Torre Golf. England's squad followed soon after, joining the rest of the teams for what has become a full week of competitive fixtures across the Costa Cálida.

The opening matches have already shown just how evenly matched many of these sides are. The Netherlands and the United States shared a 1–1 draw in one of the first games, setting the tone for a tightly contested tournament. France edged past Scotland with a 1–0 win, while Italy overcame Portugal 2–1. Germany also came through a challenging match against Belgium, winning 2–1 in difficult weather conditions.

With those results in place, attention now turns to the final fixtures, which will decide the remaining positions.
