Clubs angry as England Women plan long camp before July internationals
FA intends to call up squad three weeks before summer windowClubs frustrated that lessons from last year not learned
The England Women club v country row has reignited with several clubs angry at the Football Association’s plans to call up players three weeks before the controversial international window in July.
It is a rare summer without a tournament for the players but England have games at the end of May and in early June before facing the Republic of Ireland and Sweden in Euro 2025 qualifiers in the 8-16 July period earmarked for international games. The intention of the FA is to call up players a few days before the 27 May-4 June matches and then to recall players on the 19 June for the final two qualifiers.
