pre-Euro 2016 warm-up game at Wembley in March.
England will meet Netherlands in March as part of their Euro
2016 build-up, the Football Association announced on Friday.
Roy Hodgson's side secured a place at next summer's finals by
winning all 10 of their qualifiers in Group E and will use the
meeting with Danny Blind's men as part of their preparations for
the finals in France.
In stark contrast, Netherlands' qualifying campaign was
shambolic. It started with Guus Hiddink at the helm but he
resigned in June and replacement Blind was unable to lead a
talented squad to even a play-off place.
Oranje will visit London on March 29 and follows England
friendlies against Spain, France and Germany.
The Dutch will also face Wales in Cardiff next month as Chris
Coleman begins to form his plans ahead the principality's first
trip to a major tournament since 1958.
