Harry Kane has made history as the first English player to win the Ballon d'Or for 25 years, and England fans can still book tickets for his return to Wembley against Croatia on November 12. The England and Bayern Munich striker was named the world's greatest footballer at a ceremony in London on Monday (October 26), becoming the first Englishman to claim the award since Michael Owen in 2001.
The honour follows a stellar season in which Kane netted 73 goals in 65 games for club and country and reached both the World Cup and Champions League semi-finals. To mark the occasion, the famous Wembley Stadium arches were lit up in gold on Monday night, and the skipper is due to return to the stadium next month when England continue their UEFA Nations League campaign.
VIP hospitality packages available
Kane and his team-mates will face Croatia on November 12 for their fifth of six group games. Although general admission tickets have sold out on the Wembley Stadium website, official match tickets are still available by booking a VIP hospitality package through Seat Unique from £59.
Prices can fluctuate leading up to the game, but currently start with the Taphouse package, which includes a 'premium' padded seat in Wembley's middle tier. Fans can also access the stadium from two-and-a-half hours before kick-off and enjoy a selection of food and drink outlets in the Taphouse Social area, where a bar with 48 taps serves a huge range of beers, wine, cocktails, spirits and soft drinks. Food and drink are not included in the ticket price and must be bought on the day.
Bobby Moore Lounge package
The second and final package available for England vs Croatia is the £679 Bobby Moore package, but fewer than five of these currently remain. With this, fans can watch the game from halfway line seating behind the dugout in the lower tier and secure a seat at a shared table in the exclusive Bobby Moore Lounge, touted as 'one of Wembley's finest hospitality lounges'.
Canapés will be served upon arrival, before a four-course meal including a cheeseboard after the game. This package also comes with 'unlimited' Laurent Perrier champagne and a complimentary bar of fine wines, beers, spirits and soft drinks, including Guinness, Camden Hells and premium wines. Seat Unique applies a booking fee to each ticket, so customers should check the total cost during checkout.
Other ticket options and match context
Aside from Seat Unique, official tickets may be available to book directly through the Wembley Stadium website or Ticketmaster. Both sites currently have no general admission tickets available, but it's always worth checking closer to the game in case more go on sale. Wembley Stadium also offers its own range of hospitality packages, but these are only available to members for the Croatia game.
England head into the Croatia Nations League clash second in Group A3 on nine points, while Croatia sit in third place on three points. This means Thomas Tuchel's side will book their spot in the next round unless they suffer a dramatic 7-0 defeat at Wembley.
England have a storied past with Croatia, having most recently inflicted an emphatic 7-0 win on the European side in the reverse Nations League fixture. They also met earlier this year in their World Cup opener, which saw Kane find the net twice in England's dramatic 4-2 win. However, England fans will remember the heartbreak of 2018, when Croatia's Mario Mandžukić ended England's World Cup dreams with an extra-time goal in the semi-final. Times have changed since then, as Croatia were sent packing from the USA this summer in the round of 32 after a 2-1 loss to Portugal.
