The 2004 FA Summer Tournament was a minor international football competition that took place in England from 30 May to 5 June 2004. Host nation England, Japan and Iceland participated in the tournament. All matches took place at the City of Manchester Stadium, home of Manchester City.[1]
This three-nation mini-tournament was arranged as a preparatory exercise for England just before UEFA Euro 2004 began the following week. It featured England’s squad for that tournament, which had been named two weeks before on 17 May 2004. They won the tournament on goal difference from Japan, having been held to a draw by them but defeating Iceland via a greater margin.[2][3]
