England fans in Magaluf, Spain, were in high spirits as they geared up for the Three Lions’ Euros opener against Serbia. The party island was buzzing with excitement as supporters flooded bars and clubs, ready to cheer on their team with drinks in hand. Despite the police warning of a zero-tolerance crackdown on troublemakers, the atmosphere was electric.

One dedicated fan, Olly Elsworthy, 25, proudly displayed his commitment to the cause by getting a tattoo of the famous ‘It’s Coming Home’ anthem before the match. Alongside a group of fellow fans who had traveled from Devon, Olly expressed his unwavering support for Gareth Southgate and the team, emphasizing that the ultimate goal was to bring the trophy back home.

As the pre-game festivities unfolded, the Bickleigh Buzzards football team, donning England shirts, indulged in shots and pints, setting the stage for a night of celebration. Some fans, inspired by Olly’s bold move, opted to get impromptu tattoos as a symbol of their passion for the sport and the national team.

Hayden Nutt, 20, chose to commemorate the occasion by having his hotel room number inked in Roman numerals on his calf, while others embraced quirky references such as Lightning McQueen’s car number from the movie ‘Cars.’ The sense of camaraderie and excitement among the fans was palpable as they eagerly awaited the match against Serbia.

With Spanish police implementing stringent measures to maintain order and prevent unruly behavior, both local authorities and British officers were on high alert. Operation High Impact Zulu Bravo was activated to ensure the safety of everyone on the island amidst the anticipated revelry that would follow the game.

Magaluf braced itself for a night of jubilant chaos as England fans, united in their love for the sport, prepared to witness their team in action. The blend of adrenaline, camaraderie, and sheer enthusiasm painted a vibrant picture of the football fever that gripped the party hotspot on that memorable day.
