England announced that the Australia’s rival will face the Rugby League ash this October, for the first time since 2003.
The matches between the two countries will be held in London, Liverpool and Leeds during three Saturdays from October 25th.
On the tour will be the first rugby league of International at the Wembley Stadium of the 2013 World Cup Stadium, as well as the conflict at Everton’s new Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium, which opened in Liverpool last month, and Headinogley in Leeds.
The temporary executive director of Everton, Colin Chong, said: “We are delighted to welcome the Rugby League of the Ashes series at Everton Stadium this fall.
“Like the Everton House, our new stadium was built to host sports and entertainment events of the world class. Ensuring international firming of this size shows the status of Everton Stadium as one of the leading places in the UK.
“The rivalry between England and Australia in the Rugby League has a rich history, and we are excited to welcome sports fans in our city and our stadium that will offer an unforgettable experience in the top environment on the shores of the Mersey River.”
Kengaroos won the last 13 rugby league series from 1970, and the series previously challenged the United Kingdom, not England.
Eight years have passed since the last Latio nations – in the 2017 World Cup finals, and Australia won 6-0. They also won all three test matches on the latest tour of 2003.
