The squad for the forthcoming senior men’s international against France has been announced. Great Britain Head Coach Jason Scott has included players from 17 different British Clubs among the 75 named athletes. The squad will meet up for their final training camp on 29th July at the University of Nottingham with a 45-man game day roster named 96 hours before the August 5th showdown at the Butts Park Stadium, Coventry.
The game will mark the first senior men’s international played in the UK since 2019, when GB beat Russia at New River Stadium in London. Scott said: “I’m delighted to be able to name the 75-man squad for European Championship games later this year; the players and coaches have been working incredibly hard over the past six months, and we’re ready for the challenge that the French program provides.
“The staff have selected the best team available, whilst they are all talented athletes in their own right, this group of players work so well together with great chemistry and team spirit. They have all invested so much time and energy in the team, and I’m excited to see them take the next steps.
“I’d also like to thank those who weren’t retained for the 75 man squad; we have an almost embarrassing strength in depth, they have all contributed a huge amount to the growth of this squad, and our continued successes.”
