UEFA EURO PRIZE DRAW WINNERS WEMBLEY TRIP

UEFA Euro Prize Draw Winners Wembley Trip 
 

Following outstanding and consistent sportsmanship and participation in sport, this term our fantastic UEFA Euro prize draw winners and runners up got to go to Wembley.  

This is how their day went... 

After a typically British soaking as they walked and approached the stadium, pupils' anticipation and excitement of the super sports venue still built. Receiving their stadium passes, the tour started following corridors adorned with flags, boots, shirts, photos and other rich historical mementos of Wembley. A reminder of all the incredible sporting events that have happened within the stadium site since 1923, including the famous 1966 England World Cup win! When it certainly did come home! 

One strange but fantastic feature of the tour for the pupils was standing in the empty stadium and hearing themselves echo across the pitch. They could really feel and see the vast scale of the 90,000-capacity stadium. They learnt about the stadium world records, including the 2618 toilets, before stepping down the stairs of fame and seeing every great player and event that has graced the crowds of Wembley.  

Then came the favourite part of the tour, the changing rooms! Pupils got to sit in the seats and see the kits of some of their idols, including Jack Grealish and Harry Kane. This followed with a tunnel line up, where they got to feel what it might be like getting ready to step out on the pitch for a cup final. 

They then headed pitch side, whilst they didn't have 90,000 fans screaming at them, they could still anticipate the energy and the excitement the players must feel stepping onto the hallowed turf and the honour of representing your country. After a few poses by the team sub bench, it was time to head to the royal box and finish up the tour. This was where the England and Italian players collected their medals in this year's UEFA Euro final, with an incredible view of the pitch. It was the perfect end to a winner's day, well done to the winning pupils!
