England supporters are racing to secure travel and tickets for Sunday's Euro 2025 final in Basel after a dramatic semi-final victory against Italy. Fans who watched the 2-1 win in Geneva described a night of intense emotions, with 15-year-old Izzy saying, 'It was so nerve-wracking. Then Michelle Agyemang scored and we just flipped.'
Many fans are making last-minute plans, like a group of five who travelled without accommodation and camped in Lucerne. Others, like Izzy and her mother Emma from Norfolk, had tentative plans but only booked after England's penalty shootout win over Sweden. Emma, an English teacher, noted a surge in interest at her school as the Lionesses progressed.
The scramble for final tickets is underway, with fans optimistic about securing them upon arriving in Zurich. Supporters like Adie and Amy, who have tickets already, are relishing the tournament's inclusive atmosphere. 'It's great to see how much bigger the games have become,' Amy said, recalling the 2019 World Cup in Nice where matches went unnoticed.
England's final opponents will be decided after Spain face Germany, with a Spain victory reviving memories of the 2023 World Cup final. Fans remain positive, with Amy stating, 'Our motto has been: 'No fear.' And as we've seen, it only takes one second to score.' Basel is set to host a jubilant crowd if England can complete the job on Sunday.
