The Football Association has revealed that more than 20,000 tickets have already been sold for England Women's friendly against Germany in November.

It was announced on June 5 that the Lionesses will be taking on the Germans at Wembley on November 9, and the FA said the 20,000 sales mark was passed on Sunday morning.

Phil Neville's side are currently preparing for Tuesday's World Cup semi-final against holders the United States in Lyon.

Interest back home in their progress at the tournament in France has been considerable.

The 3-0 quarter-final win over Norway on Thursday set a new UK television viewing record for women's football, being watched by a peak audience of 7.6million.

England also have a friendly against Norway in Bergen lined up for September 3.
