The Government has ruled out a bank holiday if the Lionesses are victorious on Sunday.
Excitement has started building for “football-mad” England fans ahead of the Lionesses’ first ever World Cup final.
Ahead of the match, the King issued a rallying cry of “roar to victory” and the Prime Minister urged players to bring the trophy home, although neither is attending the game Down Under. The Prince of Wales is facing a continued backlash over his decision not to attend the Women’s World Cup final in Australia.
No senior member of the British royal family is attending the match, but Queen Letizia of Spain will be there with her 16-year-old daughter Ifanta Sofia in order to show her country’s commitment to national football. Pre-match commentary blared out as young girls in England shirts took their seats at North Walsham Town FC in Hemp’s home town ahead of kick-off.
Public screenings are set to take place at locations such as Victoria Park in Tower Hamlets, east London – which could accommodate around 12,500 supporters for the game.
