England supporters are being urged to 'bring the absolute vibe' to St Jakob-Park on Sunday, as the Lionesses prepare to face their opponents in the Euro 2025 final in Basel. The 34,250-capacity stadium is sold out, including the 2,000 allocation for England fans, with official resale tickets unavailable.
Deborah Dilworth, head of women's football at the Football Supporters' Association, noted that unlike the men's Euros in Germany last year, there has been no late rush of fans seeking tickets. 'The women's fans seem to want to know that they've got their plans in place,' she said, adding that the cost of flights, starting at £800 from the UK, has deterred some potential travellers.
However, many new fans have already secured tickets, with Dilworth reporting that at a recent event, 'we had loads who said it was their first away tournament, and some where it was their first ever Lionesses game.' The growing support has been visible in organised fan walks to the stadium, a practice enabled by Uefa that England fans have embraced wholeheartedly.
'England fans have brought the absolute vibe,' Dilworth said. 'Their singing, their scarves, face paints, cowboy hats – they've presented in the way they usually do but in mass numbers which looks great.'
