Young football fan ‘amazed at the size of Wembley’ for Euro 2022 final

An eight-year-old football fan gifted a ticket for the European Championship Final was “amazed” at the size of Wembley, her father said.

A keen goalkeeper for her local team, Evie Jackson, and her father, Matt, 30, capped their tournament experience of trips to Leeds United’s Elland Road and St George’s Park by witnessing England’s famous victory over Germany on Sunday.

“Why’s it so big?” Evie asked her father after walking into the stadium.

Mr Jackson had appealed on Twitter to find tickets for the final and said he had nearly given up hope when a stranger contacted him to offer two tickets free of charge.

“I feel really lucky and I didn’t know what was happening because I thought it was going to be fake,” Evie, who lives with her father in Leigh, near Manchester, told the PA news agency ahead of the final.

“I was so excited when I heard that we got the tickets, I was crying because I thought that we wouldn’t have been able to go.
