England will return to the 'cursed' Arena AufSchalke in Gelsenkirchen next summer when they try and usher football home at Euro 2024. <\/p>\n

Gareth Southgate's side discovered their fate on Saturday evening, when they were drawn in a group with Slovenia, Denmark, and Serbia. And after the Three Lions open their campaign against Serbia at the Arena AufSchalke – which might ring some bells for football fans.<\/p>\n

England have already graced the stadium in Gelsenkirchen during their 2006 World Cup campaign. On that occasion, it was the last dance for Sven Goran Eriksson's Golden Generation. <\/p>\n

England were dumped out of the tournament by Portugal in a game that has gone down in infamy on these shores. The Three Lions crashed out on penalties, again, with only Owen Hargreaves getting his shot on target.<\/p>\n

However, the match is best remembered for Wayne Rooney's red card after he appeared to stamp on Ricardo Carvalho. And as Rooney made his way off the pitch, then-Manchester United team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo aimed a wink in the direction of the referee. <\/p>\n

What do you think of England's Euro 2024 draw? Let us know in the comments section<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rooney, writing for The Sunday Times in 2020, revealed: "I knew it was a red card and back in the dressing room I watched the rest of the game on a little TV, thinking: 'If we win this, I\u2019m suspended for a World Cup semi-final and final and if we lose it\u2019s my fault'.<\/p>\n

"It was the worst, weirdest feeling I\u2019ve had in football. I had my phone in my hand and I was getting all these messages about Ronaldo.<\/p>\n

"Of course, when he ran over to ask Elizondo to send me off I pushed him away. In that moment I couldn\u2019t believe what he was doing. But sitting in that dressing room gave me time to calm down and think.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"I put myself in Ronaldo\u2019s shoes. Would I do the same? Probably. Would I be in the ref\u2019s face to make sure he got sent off? If he deserved the red, if it would help us win \u2014 yes, no question. I\u2019d do it tomorrow."<\/p>\n

England will hoping to lay that ghost to rest on June 16, before they square off with Denmark in the second game. Southgate's side will complete their group against Slovenia.<\/p>\n
