England v Serbia has been confirmed as taking place in Belgrade. The game will be played at the Rajko Mitić Stadium, the home of Red Star Belgrade. It has a capacity of just over 51,700. There will be plenty of important information for England fans on this trip which we will share nearer the time.
The Free Lions for our game v Andorra is ready to download. Some key information inside for supporters, along with the regular tips and advice. Please also see the important ticketing info released by the ESTC. You can collect your hard copies from the Fans’ Embassy team at Plaça de Catalunya on Friday and Saturday. See you out there 🏴 https://thefsa.org.uk/news/free-lions-195-guide-to-barcelona/
The weird and wonderful, from Magaluf, to Benidorm, to Toulouse and everywhere in between, safe travels however you are making your way to Barcelona. What support. See you there 🏴
𝐓𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤-𝐢𝐧 For fans who are in Barcelona and need to check-in at the Hotel Indigo, this will open at 10am this morning. You can still check in if your ticket hasn’t arrived. 𝐆𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐮𝐦 We have received some information that local police are advising fans to use the Almeda Station on the city’s FGC Network, rather than the slightly closer Cornella Riera stop. If you are on La Rambla, you can get there by using Placa de Catalunya, Liceu or Drassanes stations, changing at Placa Espanya. 𝐁𝐚𝐠𝐬 There is NO bag drop at the stadium, so please don’t bring one. If you do, nothing bigger than A5 is allowed. 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 Fans are still being asked to carry their passport to the game. If your passport details have changed recently and you haven’t informed the ESTC of this change before now, please ensure you have a screenshot of the old one whilst carrying the new one. 𝐅𝐚𝐧𝐬’ 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐲 The Fans’ Embassy team will be at Plaça de Catalunya today from around midday until around 5pm. Our 24/7 mobile number is available should you need any help.
For the avoidance of doubt, since there are two Hotel Indigo’s in Barcelona, you are looking for the one at Plaça Espanya, not Plaça de Catalunya. https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZBNQKy51wKzpfqZf8?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy
The Fans’ Embassy is up and running at Plaça de Catalunya ahead of England’s game against Andorra in Barcelona, at the top of La Rambla. We’ll be here until around 5pm today, issue 195 of the Free Lions is here to collect.
Just as a reminder, check in is open until 8pm tonight at the Hotel Indigo at Plaça Espanya, tomorrow from 8am until 5pm. If you have 35 caps or less, you are required to check in even if you have received your ticket by email in order to get your caps. Every supporter was emailed with their status as to whether they needed to attend the check in process or not.
⚽️𝐀𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐚 𝐯 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 🏟️𝐑𝐂𝐃𝐄 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐮𝐦, 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐚 🕕𝟏𝟖:𝟎𝟎 𝐤𝐢𝐜𝐤-𝐨𝐟𝐟 (𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞) 𝐆𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 England fans are being asked to head for the Almeda train station, which is around a 15-20 minute walk to the stadium, rather than the slightly closer Cornella-Riera, which are both on line L8 from Placa Espanya. If you find yourself near La Rambla, you can use line L3 from Placa de Catalunya, Liceu or Drassanes and change at Placa Espanya. You can use a taxi to the stadium which will take a similar amount of time. For anyone heading up early, there is the Splau shopping centre which has plenty of restaurants right next door, just a few minutes to the turnstiles. 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐮𝐦 England fans are located behind both goals for this fixture, so check your ticket to ensure you enter the correct side of the ground. FA and FSA staff will be there to assist outside. There will be no alcohol served. We were told on the pre-visit that the stadium would open at 16:00. 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐠𝐬/𝐛𝐚𝐠𝐬 As is standard, flags no larger than 2x1.5m are permissible and should have a fire certificate. We are now being told that bags should be no larger than A5, rather than A4. Our advice? Don’t bring one. There’s no storage at the ground. If you have a bag and need to leave it somewhere, you can do so in the city at La Rambla at The Old Irish Pub, owned by ESTC member Luke. 𝐓𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐬 Tickets will have been emailed and can be used from your phone or via a print out. Should you have any issues at the stadium, ESTC staff will be on hand to help. Fans who need to check in should head for the Hotel Indigo at Plaça Espanya. You won’t get your caps if you don’t follow this process. ESTC staff will be there until 5pm. 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 The advice on bringing your passport to the game is that you have to bring your physical passport. Should you have a new passport from the one listed on your match ticket, try and make sure you have a screenshot of your old one, whilst carrying the new one. If you have any issues at the stadium, please find the FSA Fans’ Embassy team or FA stewards and we will assist. 𝐅𝐚𝐧𝐬’ 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐲 We will be located at Plaça de Catalunya today from around 10am until 3pm, before the team will be outside of the ground up to kick-off. Copies of issue 195 of the Free Lions is available to collect at both our location and the ticket check-in point.
The Fans’ Embassy is open at Plaça de Catalunya. We’ll be here until around 3pm. Issue 195 of the Free Lions is here to collect. Another hot day in store in Barca, have a great day all and stay safe, if you need any help just give us a shout.
