Earlier, some England stars were in Premier League action as recently as Sunday, before linking up at the national training base at St George’s Park yesterday. They were paid a visit by Prince William during their brief stay – as Wills wished the squad luck ahead of their flight to Qatar this morning.
Additionally, Southgate gave each England player a special gift box that contained their team’s shirt, along with the words, “Wear your shirt with pride and embrace the opportunity to make history.”
Their flight, scheduled for 10am, eventually departed Birmingham Airport at 10:41 this morning – landing at 4:57pm UK time. England flew out to Qatar aboard “Rain Bow”, a Virgin Atlantic A350 Airbus that promotes Gay Pride.
It features a motif of Oscar — the airline’s LGBTQ+ Union Jack-trailing flying icon — beneath the cabin. The gesture was proposed by FA chiefs keen to register concern about gay rights in the strict Muslim state where homosexuality can still carry the death penalty.
England are set to get their tournament underway against Iran next Monday. They will then face the USA on Friday, 25 November – before completing Group B with a home nations clash against Wales on Tuesday, 29 November.
England are staying at the Souq Al Wakra Hotel in Qatar, with the Three Lions having booked all 101 rooms. Three Lions Wags are set to stay on a cruise ship, with Jack Grealish’s girlfriend Sasha Attwood among those booked on “HMS Wag”.
