Harry Kane and England will take to the pitch against Costa Rica in an international friendly on Wednesday, one day before the 2026 FIFA World Cup gets underway. England, placed in Group L alongside Croatia, Ghana and Panama, enter the match in search of a confidence boost after a mixed run of form that includes a 1-0 loss to Japan in March. England did bounce back by beating New Zealand 1-0 last Friday. Costa Rica, who failed to qualify for the World Cup, has struggled in recent tune-up play. They’ve lost three of their past five outings, including a 5-0 defeat to Iran in March.
