Welcome aboard the MSC World Europa, the billion-euro luxury cruise ship which is set to host some of the England’s players’ other halves and their families after yesterday’s glittering naming ceremony at Doha’s stunning new Grand Cruise Terminal.
While manager Gareth Southgate, Captain Harry Kane and the England squad, confined to their own Covid bubble, will be sweating it out, training in the 33C heat on terra firma, the WAGs who may include Jack Grealish’s girlfriend Sasha Attwood, and Harry Maguire’s wife Fern will be kicking back on MSC’s spectacular new flagship.
And wives and girlfriends travelling to the first World Cup to be played in the Middle East, will find more than enough to keep them entertained on board the 22-deck high, 1,092ft long, 6,762-passenger floating palace.
