England and Manchester United midfielder Katie Zelem remains optimistic about maintaining a connection with their fans back home despite competing in the Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
The memorable Euro 2022 victory over Germany, witnessed by over 87,000 spectators at Wembley Stadium, set a new record for a women's international game in Europe. The incredible support throughout the tournament played a pivotal role in the Lionesses' journey to the final. However, when Sarina Wiegman's side takes on Haiti in their opening group-stage match in Brisbane on July 22, they will be far from home.
Nonetheless, Zelem believes that despite the distance, the Lionesses will still receive the support of their fans in England. "One of our main priorities is to connect with our fans," she expressed to the Mirror.
