England’s World Cup Wags will be living the ultimate dream later this month in Qatar, on board the most incredible ship ever built.
During the World Cup, celebrities including Sasha Attwood, Jack Grealish’s girlfriend, have reservations on a £1 billion luxury cruise liner.
There will be 6,762 passengers on the brand-new MSC World Europa, including football players’ spouses and girlfriends.
While the ship is parked off the coast of Doha, five-star packages to stay on board can cost up to £6,000.
When traveling on the £1 billion luxury cruise ship, passengers can eat at 33 onboard restaurants and bars.
On a ship that MSC Cruises has branded a “ultramodern metropolitan city at sea,” there is also a 75-meter indoor slide.
Sasha Attwood and company will board the opulent MSC World Europa later this month as it steams toward Qatar.
However, no players would be permitted on deck, as exclusively disclosed by The Sun.
The Three Lions will live in a strict hotel Covid bubble away from their partners, keeping Gareth Southgate’s stars apart.
Not that the wags in England will care, though.
The £1 billion, 205,700-tonne floating castle has more than enough to keep them occupied.
The astounding MSC World Europa features six pools, 14 whirlpools with ocean views, and a 643-foot promenade.
The Venom Drop, an 11-deck tall helter skelter, is the tallest ship-mounted slide in the world at 75 meters.
6,762 people, crammed into 2,633 cabins, are slated to attend, including spouses and girlfriends of England players.
There is a 1,153-seat theater where visitors may relax, so it will be difficult to leave the ship to watch any World Cup activity on dry land.
Or, if they’d prefer to amuse themselves, there is a Sportplex where bumper cars are housed.
However, five-star packages to stay on board when the ship is parked off the coast of Doha can set you back up to £6,000.
The MSC Yacht Club Owner’s Suite is the most opulent of the many accommodations available to visitors.
The bedroom has a sizable terrace and a separate whirlpool bath.
A separate dining and living room area are also there, along with spectacular floor to ceiling windows and glass doors.
Simpler accommodations include a bed, wardrobe, bathroom, and TV.
The Mini and Juniors clubs are also available for the children to use while they are on board.
A Zen Pool and an Indoor Promenade offer additional adult entertainment.
Back on dry land in Doha, Southgate and his team will be lodging at the Souq Al Wakra hotel.
But less than a month before the tournament begins, The Sun exclusively revealed earlier this week that the hotel is still a construction site.
England national football team
Since the first international game in 1872, the England national football team has represented England in international football.
It is governed by The Football Association (FA), the organization in charge of football in England. The FA is a member of UEFA and is subject to FIFA’s global authority.
The FIFA World Cup, the UEFA European Championship, and the UEFA Nations League are the three major international competitions in which England participates.
Football’s two-oldest national team is England. In 1872, it faced Scotland in the inaugural international football game.
Wembley Stadium in London serves as England’s home field, and St George’s Park in Burton upon Trent serves as the nation’s training facility.
Gareth Southgate leads the team as manager.
One of the eight countries to win the World Cup is England. England has made the World Cup cutoff 16 times.
It finished fourth in 1990 and fourth in 2018, and it won the World Cup Final in 1966, a competition it also hosted.
England’s greatest finish to date was finishing as runners-up in 2020, although it has never won the European Championship.
England does not participate in the Olympic Games because it is not a member of the International Olympic Committee and is a member of the United Kingdom.
In addition to being the only non-sovereign entity to have won the World Cup, England is currently the only team to have won the World Cup at the senior level without also winning their main continental championship.
When does the FIFA World Cup begin?
In contrast to long-standing tradition, the FIFA Men’s World Cup will host its 22nd edition in November and December of 2022 instead of June and July to coincide with the European club offseason.
The contest was ultimately moved due to Qatar’s extreme heat.
The event will mark the first World Cup to be hosted in the Middle East and the second World Cup to be staged in the Asian Football Confederation after the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan.
Qatar, the 2022 FIFA World Cup’s host nation, will formally kick off the tournament on Sunday, November 20.
