Prince William to attend England's first World Cup game in Germany

2nd June 2006

It was announced this week that Prince William, who is President of The Football Association, will attend England’s opening World Cup 2006 game against Paraguay in Frankfurt, Germany on June 10th.

The Prince, who made a surprise visit to the England team during a training session in Manchester, became President of the FA last month. He said “I am 150 per cent behind the team, as I imagine the rest of the country is. Football has got a huge place in this country. It captures everybody’s imagination and passion and helps to drive, enthuse and inspire.”
