England are already making strategic plans for the upcoming Euro 2024, which will be hosted by Germany in the summer of 2024.
The Three Lions are taking over a luxury 94-room resort for the tournament – but are expected to leave their Wags 20 miles away.
The FA have reportedly parted with £800,000 to book the entirety of a German golf and spa center, which also boasts a robot to collect dishes.
Moreover, England are taking their chefs and are expected to avoid having the players’ partners close to the team.
Reports indicate that the FA are taking this route to ensure no repeat of the “circus” witnessed the last time the Three Lions competed in Germany in a major tournament.
The 2006 FIFA World Cup was hosted in Germany, and England battled through to the quarter-finals, before slumping to an exit, after being defeated by Portugal on penalties.
Victoria Beckham, Cheryl Cole, Alex Gerrard, and Coleen Rooney all made the news for their close contact with the team.
Why are England making such moves for Euro 2024 to be hosted by Germany
It appears the FA are trying to be careful to avoid any distractions as they chase their first major title since 1966.
They witnessed their women achieve success at the 2022 European Championships, defeating Germany 2-1 in the final played in Wembley.
Anyway, the Three Lions have secured the Weimarer Land Golf and Spa resort in Blankenhain, alongside swimming pools, sauna, and gym, for the 2024 European Championship.
The tournament has been slated from June 14, 2024, to July 14, 2024, and it has been reported that Wags are looking into staying at a five-star hotel 40 minutes away by car from England’s base.
Three Lion’s boss Gareth Southgate will reportedly have one of the Weimarer’s top three suites, with the golf-themed names of Birdie, Albatross, and Eagle.
Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, and others will apparently have timber-lined rooms or suites, with room service expected to be extra easy.
How will feeding be like for England at Euro 2024?
It should be easy as every man gets a hand-held digital pad linked to the resort’s staff.
Regarding meals, breakfast will be typical of the venue’s normal service, with Salmon, organic sourdough breads, and eggs being on the menu, alongside fresh orange juice and locally-produced honey.
The FA are banking on their chefs for dinner – to help offer amazing sporting nutrition.
Meanwhile, Michelin chefs Danny Schwabe and Marcello Fabbri – from the Weimarer’s Augusta and Masters restaurants are expected to provide an a carte menu.
Based on reports, The Three Lions will be handed special treatment at the tournament, all in a bid to ensure they return to England with the continental crown.
Southgate’s side finished as runners-up in the last edition of the European Championships, losing in the final 3-2 on penalties, after playing out a 1-1 draw in regulation time and extra time.
England have got a talented pool of players, and they are classified among favorites for the crown.
Jude Bellingham, Harry Kane, Declan Rice, and youngster Kobbie Mainoo are potential players expected to spark the tournament to life, as they try to propel England to success.
