Captain Leah Williamson spoke to the crowd and thanked fans for their support.
“This is one of the best things we’ve been a part of,”
she said, clearly emotional.
But the biggest surprise of the day came for England manager Sarina Wiegman. After taking the microphone, she was shocked when Scott announced a live performance by her favourite artist, Burna Boy.
“Oh no way,”
Wiegman shouted into the mic, unable to hide her excitement.
The Nigerian singer came on stage and gave her a big hug before performing For My Hand, which Wiegman had previously said was her most-played song of 2023.
Wiegman, known for staying calm during matches, danced happily on stage with Burna Boy as the players cheered and took photos.
It was a fun and unforgettable ending to a historic celebration for the team and their fans.
