England head to the Anglia region, including Irthlingborough.
International football is heading to the Anglia region this August with Rushden & Diamonds, Peterborough United and Northampton Town all hosting England U17 fixtures.
The three games are part of a four team friendly tournament which will also feature Italy,Portugal and Israel.
Rushden & Diamonds will host England's opening game against Portugal on August 27 at Nene Park, while Peterborough's London Road ground will see the Three Lions play Israel on August 29.
The tournament concludes at Northampton Town's Sixfields stadium against Italy on August 31.
A Non-England game will take place at Cambridge City as well as Northampton.
The core of the England squad will be made up of last season's successful U16s team which won the home nations Victory Shield competition on Sky Sports.
Managing England U17s will be John Peacock who is looking forward to seeing his squad in match action: "The tournament is a nice start to the season and gives the players some match experience at a new age group.
"It will obviously be a learning curve for everyone involved but that's what these tournaments are all about."
England U17s begin their European Championship qualifying campaign in Spain this October and Peacock sees the August tournament as a decent dress rehersal: "Italy and Portugal have a history of producing good teams at youth level so they'll be a great test.
"Israel will provide a different kind of opposition. They'll be strong and competitive so it will be a good mix of games."
Ticket prices for all three of England's games are: £3 for adults in advance (£5 on matchday) and £1 for children and concessions.
Charter Standard clubs and schools can claim a maximum of 30 free tickets while group bookings of 15 or more means you can watch England U17s for just 50p.
