England's upcoming friendly match against Australia at the Stadium of Light in Sunderland is now sold out.

The Three Lions face the Socceroos on May 27 in the second of their three warm-up matches ahead of Euro 2016 this summer.

A huge fan zone is being opened outside the stadium from 3pm on Friday, for what is widely regarded as the venue's highest profile match in over a decade.

Sunderland AFC's commercial director, Gary Hutchinson, said:

Stadium turnstiles will open at 5.45pm, and supporters are asked to make their way into the stadium well in advance of the 7.45pm kick off.

Live coverage of the match will shown on ITV from 7:30pm.
