All three pairs of brothers who played together for England ft. Jude & Jobe Bellingham
Jobe Bellingham could follow in his brother’s footsteps for the Three Lions.
England head coach Thomas Tuchel made a big call while announcing the 25-member squad for the upcoming UEFA Nations League 2026-27 matches in November. The German tactician handed a maiden international call-up to Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jobe Bellingham.
The 21-year-old thoroughly deserves the call-up after a breakout season with Dortmund. He has made 14 appearances across all competitions, registering three assists. However, he can make further history if he makes his international debut.
Jobe’s brother, Jude Bellingham, is also a member of the England squad and is expected to play an important role in the upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain.
If Jobe also makes an appearance, he and Jude will become the third pair of brothers to play together for the Three Lions. Over the years, an astonishing 21 pairs of brothers have played for England, but only three of them have played together for their nation. Let’s look at all the people who have achieved this feat.
