Germany first to face England at new
Wembley?
BERLIN, Dec 11 (Reuters) - Germany will take up an invitation to
play England in the first international match at the rebuilt
Wembley Stadium next year, the German coach Joachim Loew said on
Monday.

take place on August 22.
However a spokesman at the English Football Association said he
could not confirm the fixture would take place.

definitely for next year is our European championship fixtures and
our friendly with Spain in February.'
