The FA have chosen Portman Road to host England opening U21s fixture of the season. Moldova will play on Town's turf on Tuesday, 15th August with the kick-off at 8pm.

The match, which will also be screened on Sky, will be priced at £10 for adults and £5 for concessions.

This is not the first time that Portman Road has been used to host England matches. Town hosted the full England side in August 2003 when they defeated Croatia 3-1 in a friendly.

Portman Road has also been the venue for international football at lower levels, with England U21 matches against Switzerland (1980, 5-0), Romania (1985, 3-0), Albania (1989, 2-0) and the Czech Republic (1998, 0-1) all proving popular. An U23 match against Switzerland was staged in 1972.

In 2001/02, the England U19s beat Germany 3-1. The ground also played host to a 1959 pre-Olympic Games friendly between Great Britain and the Caribbean FA ahead of the 1960 Games in Rome.
