England will play Nigeria at Wembley and Costa Rica
at Elland Road in their final friendly matches ahead
of this summer's World Cup.
Nigeria will visit on 2 June while England will face
Costa Rica at Leeds United's ground on 7 June.
England's first match at the World Cup is against
Tunisia on 18 June.
Gareth Southgate's side also face Costa Rica's
central American neighbours Panama in Russia, with
Belgium completing Group G.
The England manager said: "We're going into a World
Cup where we will play African and Central American
opposition, so we get that with the games against
Nigeria and Costa Rica, but it's not just about the
games we've got in the group but hopefully beyond
that as well.
"We want to expose the team to different styles and
different experiences."
England played friendlies in Manchester and
Sunderland in the build-up to Euro 2016 but this will
be the first time they have played in Yorkshire since
2002, a 2-1 defeat by Italy at Elland Road.
"All of the feedback from the team before Euro 2016
was really positive, the players enjoyed it and it was
definitely well received by the public," added
Southgate.
"It's nice when we have an opportunity to take the
team on the road."
Before games against Nigeria and Costa Rica,
England will play Netherlands and Italy in March.

Great! Grade A friendlies like these are exactly what we need. For England , I'm surprised they are not playing against North African teams like Morocco and Egypt whose playing style is very similar to Tunisia's.
I actually believe we'll beat them if we meet in Russia
