England play Brazil on Sunday 2nd June in the Maracana, Rio de Janeiro, and the England Fans’ Embassy team have hauled themselves to the beaches of Brazil to hand out Free Lions 129. It’s a tough life, isn’t it?
The team will operate on Saturday 1st June (10am-5pm) and Sunday 2nd June (10am-1pm). Subject to official permission, they hope to be based by the beach at Ipanema, by the junction of Av. Vieira Souto and Rua Farmede Amoedo – at the end of the street where the ticket collection point is.
