England Under-21 women’s squad announced for 2026.

England Hockey is delighted to announce the players selected for the England Under-21 women’s squad for 2026.

The squad came together at the end of January at Lilleshall for a two-day camp with further camps scheduled for February and March before a Three Match series at Bisham Abbey against Ireland U21’s over Easter.    

The squad includes 13 players who were part of the 2025 Junior World Cup Squad in Chile where England finished 8th.  They will be looking to learn from that experience both on and off the field of play as they continue their development towards Senior International hockey.    

Commenting on the new squad Simon Letchford, Head Coach 

“Congratulations to all the players selected and my thanks to their coaches and families who support them day in, day out, to help them achieve their hockey aspirations.  I am looking forward to working with the squad to both develop them individually towards Senior international level, and prepare as a team for the EuroHockey Junior Championships this summer” 

Full details of the squad can be found on the England U21 Squad page.
