"The huge, roaring screenings, the pubs' fizzling energy, the general sense of revelry in the streets... not to mention the ecstasy if and when England win. The joy of last summer's Lionesses Euros triumph is certainly still fresh in our memories. England and Scotland are already qualified for the 2026 World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the United States, while Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland could all still compete in North America in June."
"Exactly how the event will work given the World Cup's scheduled late kick-offs is yet to be seen. Many games will kick off after midnight, with some as late as 5am (though most will start at 8pm BST). Football Fest is still very much subject to council approval, with dates and details yet to be revealed. Follow the event's Instagram page here for updates."
London plans a Football Fest on Clapham Common to recreate World Cup atmosphere with giant outdoor screens, live music, food stalls and communal viewing. England and Scotland have secured qualification for the 2026 World Cup; Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland still have a chance to qualify. Many tournament kick-offs will be late, with some matches starting after midnight and a few as late as 5am BST, which may affect event scheduling. Football Fest draws on a Norwegian concept and remains subject to council approval, with dates and operational details pending.
