England national football team all-time record

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friendly match between England and Germany at Wembley Stadium in 2007.

The following tables show the England national football team's all-time international record. The statistics are composed of FIFA World Cup, UEFA European Football Championship, UEFA Nations League and British Home Championship (1883–1984) matches, as well as numerous international friendly tournaments and matches.[note 1]

England played the world's first international fixture against Scotland on 30 November 1872, which ended in a 0–0 draw. England and Scotland have since contested 116 official matches: England have won 49, Scotland have won 41 and 26 have been drawn.

England have contested matches against more than 80 national teams. England are unbeaten against 54 of them, having earned a perfect winning percentage against 30 of these teams. England have never beaten five teams that they have played at least once: Algeria, Ghana, Honduras, Saudi Arabia and South Korea. England have played all of these teams only once, with the exception of Saudi Arabia (two matches), and all of their meetings have been draws.

England have a negative record (more losses than wins) against only three countries: Brazil, Italy and Uruguay. England has lost only once against an Asian country.[note 2]
