England’s soccer team has royal support as they try to end a 58-year drought!
Prince William shared a message on social media on Saturday, July 13, for his country’s team, as they prepare for the final match of the Union of European Football Association (UEFA) championship game on July 14 against Spain’s national team.
“We are so proud of you all @england, just one last push to finish the job!” the Prince of Wales, 42, wrote. “Go out there and show the world what you’re made of. We believe.”
He signed off the message with a “W” — indicating the post was personally written by him.
Both teams make sports history should either of them win the upcoming July 14 match.
Per the Associated Press, England’s national team will break a 58-year drought in men’s soccer for the country if they take home the 2024 title. It will be the first time the team is vying for a major title since the 1966 World Cup.
But, if Spain — who is favored to win the match, according to the AP — should succeed in winning the title for the fourth time, they’ll break their current tie with Germany/West Germany for the most Euro Cup titles.
In the tournament thus far, Spain has won all six matches leading up to the final, while England has gained a reputation for come-from-behind wins.
Prince William previously appeared in Windsor on Friday, July 12, for the Out-Sourcing Inc. Royal Charity Polo Cup 2024 at Guards Polo Club.
The event is put on to raise money for some of the many charities and causes that Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton support.
Kate, 42, has made memorable appearances at the event (which Prince William has participated in 13 times) in the past. But she was absent on Friday, as she has been undergoing treatment for cancer.
Earlier in July, Prince William was on hand to watch England beat Switzerland in the quarter-final match of the Euro Cup.
Sunday’s match will be held in Berlin at 9 p.m. local time.
