England v Iran World Cup fan zones in Newcastle area with tickets available

Excitement is building as England prepares to kick-off their 2022 World Cup campaign.

Things may feel a little different this time round, with the Qatar tournament taking place during winter and starting just one week after the Premier League took a break.

England's first match is against Iran on Monday November 21. The 1pm kick-off may mean many of you are at work, but those who can score the day off or a half-day - and Acas does urge employers to be flexible - could take in the atmosphere at one of the fan zones or screenings.
