London mayor Sadiq Khan has announced details of how fans can secure free tickets for the biggest screening of England v Spain
Up to 15,000 fans will be able to cheer on England in the Euro 2024 final at The O2 for free this Sunday (14th).
Following England’s thrilling 2-1 victory over the Netherlands this evening, London mayor Sadiq Khan has announced details of how fans can secure free tickets for the most eagerly anticipated match of the summer.
England v Spain will be shown on a huge 16-metre screen, with fans invited to arrive at The O2 from 6pm ahead of the 8pm kick off to enjoy pre-match entertainment and create the biggest celebration of the Three Lions this side of Berlin.
Tickets are being allocated via a ballot on City Hall’s website, with the deadline to apply at 9am on Friday. Successful entrants will be notified via email by midday on Friday to secure up to four tickets.
Gareth Southgate’s team now stand one game away from delivering the nation’s first silverware in the men’s game since 1966 and will be hoping to go one step further than in 2021, when they fell just short on penalties in the final at Wembley.
