Three Lions get Royal send-off for EURO 2024

The England squad had a special visitor to St. George’s Park on Monday morning, as HRH The Prince of Wales met the players, coaching staff and support team before their departure to Germany for UEFA EURO 2024.

Gareth Southgate and his players met up at the national football centre on Sunday for their final training session on home soil ahead of the tournament.

And the FA President arrived at camp today to meet the squad and present them with their squad numbers for the tournament, and wish them well for the competition before they leave on Monday afternoon.

Three Lions captain Harry Kane was first to be greeted by HRH, before the rest of the squad followed on in their squad number order.

For players such as Kyle Walker, John Stones and Kane, EURO 2024 will be their fifth major tournament with England while for eleven players in the squad it will be their first.

There was also a special presentation made by HRH to Southgate to commemorate reaching the milestone of 150 matches as a player (57) and manager (93) in the international with Belgium at Wembley in March.

After meeting the squad, HRH spent time with some local youngsters who were playing a tournament at St. George’s Park.
