Women’s World Cup final: Watch England vs Spain in Victoria Park as part of All Points East festival

East London’s Victoria Park is set to host a screening of the Women’s World Cup final between England and Spain this Sunday (August 20).

The big game is being put on by Luno as part of the All Points East event, In the NBHD, in collaboration with Tower Hamlets Council and the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan.

Fans will be able to access the park from 10am, ahead of kick-off an hour later. Those wishing to attend must register their interest online via the official mailing list.

The game will be the first time the Lionesses will have played in a World Cup final, having won the Euros last year. The team beat one of the host nations, Australia, in the semi-final match on August 16, thanks to goals by Ella Toone, Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo.

Jim King, chief executive of European Festivals at AEG Presents, said: “What an unbelievable moment for us all to share our generation’s greatest sporting moment at this special live screening in Victoria Park. We’re so happy for the Lionesses, women’s sport, and all sporting fans throughout the country. This is it! A World Cup final!  Come on Lionesses! Come on England!”

Mr Khan said: “London and our entire nation has been enthralled by the performances of our amazing Lionesses and this screening will bring thousands of fans together to roar on the team in their biggest game yet.

“The Lionesses’ run to the final - and hopefully to bring the World Cup home - will deliver a further massive boost to the popularity of women’s football in this country and inspire more girls and women to get involved in sport.

“The atmosphere for the screening on Sunday will be electric and I can’t wait to see Londoners come together at Victoria Park and at the many fantastic venues, bars and restaurants across London showing the final to cheer the team on to glory. Come on England!”

Lutfur Rahman, mayor of Tower Hamlets, said: “The Lionesses are an amazing squad of incredible talented players who are an inspiration to us all. I hope that their success inspires and encourages women and girls not just in Tower Hamlets but across our nation, to participate in sports and physical activity.

“We look forward to welcoming visitors to our award-winning Victoria Park to cheer the Lionesses on.”
