LONDON (Reuters) - Thousands of England soccer fans dressed in red and white were descending on London's Wembley stadium on Sunday for the final of the Women's Euro 2022 tournament that has gripped the country this summer.

Ahead of the sold-out final against Germany, fans including many young girls were dressed in the kit of England's Lionesses, while a helicopter provided television footage of the team's coach making its way to the stadium.

By the time they beat Sweden 4-0 in the semi-final they had drawn a peak BBC TV audience of 9.3 million viewers, a figure that is likely to be smashed when they take on Germany at 1700 local time on Sunday. Across London and other major cities in England, pub gardens and fan zones were due to show the game on big screens, while messages of support flooded in from the worlds of sport, entertainment and politics."Could we ever envisage when we were girls growing up that one day we would have nearly 90,000 people at Wembley supporting the women's football team? Come on England," she said.

Asked who would win, the group all shouted England, with one adding:"They're going to bring it home, unlike the men."
