The travel industry is gearing up for a surge of interest in World Cup tours following Friday’s draw for first round matches.
England will play in group C against the USA, Algeria and Slovenia.
The match dates and venues are:
June 12 – 20.30 (local time) – Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg against the USA
June 18 – 20.30 – Cape Town Stadium in Cape Town against Algeria
June 23 – 16.00- Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth against Slovenia
Thomson Sport managing director Nathan Wilson said: “Football is in our culture, it’s in our DNA and happy for our fans that England has been drawn to play in an attractive group against some colourful nations.
“It’s now time for fans who want to attend the ‘must-see’ event of next year to focus on getting to the FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
“Demand over the past few weeks has been unprecedented with Thomson Sport selling out of long stay and finals packages for the die hard England fans. It’s now time to book as so not to be disappointed.”
