Sarina Wiegman's Lionesses will collide with Japan and Norway in November as they bid to bring the curtain down on a historic year in style. 

The Euro 2022 winners are set to spend the final international camp of 2022 at the Pinatar Arena football centre in Murcia.

And England's time in Spain will see them lock horns with the Japanese on November 11 before tackling the Norwegians four days later.

Wiegman, 52, said: "I am really pleased we can continue to test ourselves against strong opposition, especially as we are fully focused on our preparation for the World Cup [next summer]. 

"Japan are one of the best teams in Asia and offer a different style of play to what we are used to. 

"Norway had a difficult summer. However, they qualified directly for the World Cup and I am confident they will bounce back. They have always proven to be strong opponents.

"With both teams wanting to make a good impression as they build towards a major tournament, it will be a great opportunity to see where we stand. 

"Furthermore, I hope a change of scenery and good climate for that time of year can contribute to keeping the players fresh after what has been an exciting and at the same time intense year for all."

England hammered Norway 8-0 on the road to Euros glory earlier this year and won their last match against Japan 1-0 in the 2020 edition of the SheBelieves Cup in the United States.  

Before the November double-header, the Lionesses face the US at a sold-out Wembley on October 7 and the Czech Republic in Brighton on October 11. 

The 2023 Women's World Cup, hosted in Australia and New Zealand, kicks off on July 20.
