England could have FIFTY-THOUSAND supporters at the 71,000-capacity Olympiastadion for Euro 2024 final - with officials believing Three Lions fans will outweigh Spain counterparts two-to-one in Berlin

England are set to enjoy huge support at Sunday's Euro 2024 final - with early indications suggesting as many as 50,000 could be backing Gareth Southgate's team when they face Spain in the Olympiastadion.

Both federations have been handed 10,000 tickets at the imposing, 71,000-capacity venue in Berlin. But officials believe that those supporting England may outnumber their opponents by two to one in Germany's capital, with Three Lions fans turning the stadium into a sea of white.

Ticket resale sites have seen a huge early demand from England fans, with requests vastly outnumbering those from Spain. Direct flights to Berlin from English airports are now sold out, along with many ferry crossings to the Continent, while prices for hotel rooms in the German capital are rising. Google searches for flights to Berlin rose more than 250 per cent in the past 24 hours while the cheapest ticket available online was being offered for more than £820.

The figures are based on initial estimates from officials. They believe that the vast majority of those present in the stadium will be backing Southgate's side as they seek to end what is now 58 years without a major trophy.

For Spain's semi-final with France, fans could still buy tickets at relatively low mark up just hours before kick-off. While levels of support for Luis de la Fuente's side could be boosted by a strong international support, the signs point to England holding a significant advantage come Sunday evening.

A large number of Germans have snapped up tickets from the rest of the allocation along with other European federations, but many are expected to be returned. England are popular with the hosts - thanks in no small part to Bayern Munich's Harry Kane and ex-Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham - and the fact that Spain knocked Germany out will not have harmed levels of support among locals.

Meanwhile, should England prevail against the favourites, a victory parade will be held in London on Tuesday.

Southgate and his squad would take an open top bus from Guildhall to Buckingham Palace via Trafalgar Square ahead of a meeting with the King and royal family.

Two days of celebrations would kick off on Monday, with a meeting with Prime Minister Kier Starmer at Downing Street. A royal reception headed by Prince William, who has attended a number of games in Germany, has also been pencilled in for the same day.

There will be no such parade should Spain emerge victorious.
