“In line with the England DNA playing style, it is important that we test ourselves against top opposition and Germany will provide that challenge,” said head coach Steve Cooper.
“It’s an exciting chance for the players to play at a great stadium and in front of a live TV audience – an experience they may have to get used to further down their international journey.
“Hopefully there will be a good crowd there backing us and we can provide another important international learning opportunity for the group.”

The last time Rotherham played host to an England v Germany encounter was in April 2014 when Neil Dewsnip’s U18s side came from behind to record an impressive 2-1 victory.
Millers’ Chairman Tony Steward was thrilled at the opportunity to host another international fixture following previous successes with the Three Lions’ men and women’s teams.
"I am delighted that the FA have selected AESSEAL New York Stadium to host another marquee International fixture in their football calendar."
"We are delighted to host England here again and hope we can emulate the success of previous visits. "
"It also gives the people of this town the opportunity to come down and watch the Three Lions’ stars of the future in action right on their doorstep and I am sure that the uptake from the local public here will once again be excellent."
