BBC News in Basal
“We are in another final, am I dreaming?”
This, an England fan tells me, perhaps his first idea would be when he woke up on Sunday – the day England did a dialect in Spain to win his title.
Alex from London is one of the many enthusiastic supporters of the lioness who will be in the match, which is happening in St. Jakb-Park of Swiss city Basel.
Only one match picks up the trophy on the way to England and Alex is one of the many fans who are planning to spend the days so that it can handle his nerves.
Focusing the team’s focus on wellness, he says that “I will try and go for a walk before the game, because it is a really good, cool atmosphere when it is just itself”.
Her voice experience is – the first final of a leading women’s tournament that Alex participated, was the World Cup final in 2011, held in Germany.
“Female football is really a wonderful atmosphere. You can talk to so many people,” they say that she used to be “quite unsafe”, but has been able to gain confidence in the inclusive atmosphere of such a tournament.
Like any veteran football fan, Alex has developed some superstitions that will be in the game on Sunday before the match.
These include getting up at 09:00 pm and drinking from the same coffee mug.
“I think Mug gives me good luck,” he laughs before adding that he tries to stay away from social media because it can worry him.
‘Fans, atmosphere, energy’
Alex is not the only supporter of England that I meet in one of Basal’s fan zones, with match day customs.
Easy from Kent, who spent his 18th birthday against Italy’s semi -finals against Italy, says he would have to keep his jewelery in a certain order.
She also likes to wear her grandfather’s arsenal top, which is from the mid -90s -but she was still not expecting to be in Switzerland, instructing her mother for the final -who is also a female football fan -to wear it instead.
“I just want to be there [the stadium] Now, “She says.” I think we can do this. ,
I tell everyone that their pre-match plans include meeting with other fans at their nominated headquarters in the Mesports region during the afternoon during the afternoon, beyond their walking at the stadium in the afternoon.
Jessica plans to get up from Doncaster at South Yorkshire at around 07:00 and get her England home shirt. All England fans have been asked to wear white for the final if possible.
She will then hold some breakfast on her way.
“You know that when you get nervous, you cannot eat properly, so I need to eat in the morning,” says Jessica.
She left for Switzerland on Thursday morning and has never been in the euro final before before, he was interested in women’s football only in the last one year.
“I would join it soon, but I really never knew about it. Coverage was not good,” she says.
Jessica is one of the many fans who have traveled to Switzerland alone and for whom the spirit of the community is a big thing.
Getting tickets in Switzerland and getting tickets in the finals has not been cheap, for her “it’s about the memories and those you meet – it’s just amazing,” she says.
When asked about the opportunities in England, he has no doubt.
“We have found fans, we have found the atmosphere, we have got energy.
“We have got the players on the field and on the bench and I think we have got a very, very good chance.”
Ezi’s friend Tehi, tells me that she will try “light breakfast” to line her belly in front of the match and talk to her family in Britain.
The pair had planned to go home on Friday as they could not give tickets in the finals, but managed to arrest some parts and arrange extra time from work.
If England wins, they plan to celebrate through the night, as they have to stay at the airport for a 06:00 flight in Britain on Monday.
Like Easy, Tehaya has limited outfits options. She only brought England to the shirt – which is not white – but it would not affect her support for the lioness, which she says that is “deep standing” during the competition.
“They have played for the last whistle. They have not stopped fighting. I think it is very special about this team, which no other team has.”
