FSA says ‘loads’ of fans at their first tournament
Pre-match fan marches enhancing overall experience
England fans are being backed to “bring the absolute vibe” to St Jakob-Park on Sunday, with an expanded travelling Lionesses support expected at the final in Basel.
The 34,250-capacity arena is sold out and that includes the 2,000 allocation for England fans. Official resale tickets are unavailable but that is unlikely to stop the Lionesses’ travelling support, who have been planning for this moment for some time.
According to Deborah Dilworth, the head of women’s football at the Football Supporters’ Association, the final is unlikely to bring a repeat of the England men’s European Championship in Germany last year, when a late rush of fans arrived to hunt down tickets on spec. “The women’s fans seem to want to know that they’ve got their plans in place,” Dilworth said.
