Ahead of the World Cup in Russia this summer your Free Lions team have been feverishly beavering away getting the lowdown on all the potential venues England fans could end up in. In what could be described at best as a tense political climate, it’s arguably more important than ever that fans are informed before they follow England to this summer’s tournament.
Most fans heading out to the tournament this year will have already purchased their 2018 World Cup tickets, whether you are supporting England, indulging in some football tourism by taking in some other games, or a bit of both. With your tickets in the bag your planning for Russia is likely to be in full swing. So with the tournament less than 100 days away what’s next for travelling supporters?
The FSF appeared before the Foreign Affairs Select Committee in Parliament this this week to discuss this summer’s World Cup in Russia.
