Wales have announced they will stage their Euro 2012 qualifier against England next March at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.
The Group G opponents will clash in South Wales on Saturday 26th March , 2011 in vastly different positions as they look to reach the finals in Poland and Ukraine.
England currently sit second in the group, three points behind Montenegro albeit with a game in hand and superior goal difference.
Wales, meanwhile, are rock bottom having not scored a single point in their opening three qualifiers and, like the Three Lions, have five matches left to play.
World-Class
Football Association of Wales chief executive Jonathan Ford said: "The FAW is delighted to be taking the match to the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff as it is a world-class venue.
"The capacity means that all of the Wales fans should be able to purchase a ticket and it also allows for the travelling England fans to have a decent quota in their part of the ground, as is agreed in the rules of the competition.
"The knowledge and expertise that the Millennium Stadium has for staging such high-profile events means that we can all look forward to a great afternoon of football, played and supported in the best traditions of fair play.
"The fact that this is also the 100th meeting between the two countries adds spice to the occasion.
"The first match was back in 1879 - there is an awful lot of history between us."
