Fans will be carefully organising their movements around England‘s World Cup 2022 schedule. The Three Lions faced off against Iran on November 21, then meet the United States men’s national team on November 25 for a Friday 7pm kick-off. Gareth Southgate’s side then complete the group stage against Wales on November 29 at 7pm.
It is difficult for England fans to forget the raucous celebrations that emanated from some of the team’s fan parks for the last World Cup. The question on the minds of avid fans will now surely be where the best spot to support the team with their friends this time round.
If you happen to live near London, Manchester or Birmingham there will be a few options at your disposal. Note that you will likely have to purchase tickets to gain access to fan zones.
