Councillor Martin Smith, chair of Sheffield Council's economic development and skills committee, said: "Sheffield is the home of football and the legacy from the incredible Women’s Euros still lives on in the city.

"Last year the Lionesses brought home the European title, and now England has a chance at World Cup glory, Sheffield will be out in force to support the Lionesses on Devonshire Green in a safe, family-friendly environment. I encourage football fans and families to come down and soak up the atmosphere as we cheer England on and bring it home again.

"It is fantastic to see so many people getting behind the Lionesses, it’s a testament to their huge success. That’s why Sheffield is inviting everyone down to roar with the Lionesses and enjoy the game together. Good luck to England."
