This is a story from the FSF archive – the FSF and SD merged to become the FSA in 2019.
With England due to travel to the Belarusian capital Minsk for the 2010 World Cup Qualifier on Wednesday 15 October we’ve been busy pulling together our usual Fans’ Guide.
England’s travelling support are quickly coming to terms with long journeys to former Eastern Bloc countries, with the trip to Minsk following the stunning demolition of Croatia in Zagreb. Away fixtures in Kazakhstan and Ukraine will maintain the trend.
Away games often have added potential for mishaps and travelling to countries with totally different cultures, who might not know what to expect from an England game, can make things even trickier.
As ever, that’s where our guide comes in providing information on a such a wide variety of topics, we couldn’t even begin to explain it in a single sentence.
So you’re best off just reading our Fans’ Guide to Minsk.
We produce these guides for all England away games, so keep up to date via this site or sign up to E-Lions, here.
Lastly, a massive thank you to former Belarus resident and England fan Nigel Clark who provided some great advice for this guide, check out Nigel’s website for further information on Minsk.
With England’s She Believes Cup campaign getting underway shortly, as part of our Free Lionesses service we’ve pulled together some useful links and information for fans who might be making the journey out to the USA to cheer on Phil Neville’s side, who are aiming to retain the trophy they won in 2019.
England are off to Portugal this week as they prepare for the first-ever finals of the new UEFA Nations League – and the Free Lions team will be on hand to help fans once more.
Following England’s defeat to Holland in Portugal last night the Three Lions will be heading back to Guimarães on Sunday to take on Switzerland in the UEFA Nations League.
