South Tyneside will be showing their support for the lionesses ahead of their clash with Germany on Sunday (July 31) by flying the St George’s cross from South Shields Town Hall while also lighting the building up in red and white.

The England Women Squad are through to the final of the Euros after a 4-0 victory against Sweden.

Cllr Tracey Dixon, Leader of South Tyneside Council said: “The lionesses have played fantastically and reaching the finals is an outstanding achievement. What makes it even more special is having the tournament being held on home soil. Football fans across South Tyneside will be throwing their support behind the Lionesses. Come on England.”

This is England’s first UEFA Women’s Euro final in over a decade but comes after reaching the semi-finals in both World Cup and Euro tournaments in recent years.
