Furious England fans have been left stranded after the FA’s official travel partner cancelled their trip to Naples just days before Gareth Southgate’s side face Italy in a repeat of the EURO 2020 final.
About 2,500 England supporters were expected to travel to face Italy in their European Championship qualifier on Thursday night in a city already on high alert after shocking scenes last week of Eintracht Frankfurt fans clashing with police – with many now set to miss out.
Travel company Sportsworld sent an email to supporters late on Friday night to confirm all arrangements had been scrapped.
Sportsworld blamed the violence in Naples as a factor in the decision though it’s understood uncertainty from Italian authorities over return flights was the main reason for the chaos.
‘It is our policy never to cancel any trips, no matter the reason, but we unfortunately have no choice at this late stage,’ supporters were told in an email seen by The Mail on Sunday.
