The three Lions of England has arrived Qatar in preparation for the Sunday kickoff on Tuesday night, to ramp up their quest for Qatar glory.
Having finished runners-up at last summer’s European Championship on the back of reaching the semi-finals in Russia four years ago, the Three Lions are among the favourites to triumph in the Middle East.
The 26-man squad of England jet off to Qatar after a pause from the Premier League on a plane called ‘Rain Bow’ on Tuesday.
The Three Lions received a passionate welcome from several hundred people in Al Wakrah – the coastline city they hope to call home for the next four weeks.
They are set to train, publicly, for the first time in Qatar on Wednesday afternoon.
