England begins their latest shot at World Cup glory when they face Iran in their first Group B fixture on November 21. The Three Lions will be eyeing their first World Cup since their 1966 triumph and will start the tournament in Qatar as one of the favorites.

Gareth Southgate has announced his final 26-man squad for the competition packed with some of the finest talents in world football. But which member of the England squad booked on the flight to Qatar will be wearing the captain’s armband in the Middle East? Find out who will be England’s captain at the FIFA World Cup this winter.

Who is the captain for England?

Harry Kane is the captain for England and he will lead the Three Lions as captain in Qatar. The Tottenham striker has worn the armband since being appointed permanent captain by Southgate in May 2018 ahead of that year’s World Cup in Russia.

Kane replaced Wayne Rooney as captain following Rooney’s retirement from international duty in August 2017. The 29-year-old was the captain last summer as England reached the final of Euro 2020. He was born on July 28, 1993, in Walthamstow, United Kingdom. He is white and holds British nationality.

When Kane is not on the pitch for England, the captaincy has been shared between members of the leadership group including Jordan Henderson, Raheem Sterling, Harry Maguire and Conor Coady. Despite being the captain of the national team, Kane does not wear the armband for Tottenham – that responsibility belongs to French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.

Before being given the captaincy permanently, Kane first captained England in a World Cup qualifier against Scotland at Hampden Park in June 2017. Kane will join nine other European captains by wearing a OneLove armband at the tournament to raise awareness about LGBTQ+ discrimination in Qatar, where same-sex relationships are illegal.
