England fans set to pay £8,500 to get to World Cup final

It's the situation every Three Lions fan dreams of but if England make it to the World Cup final it could turn into a financial nightmare as new data has revealed fans will have to dish out £8,667 to cover the costs of attending.

The new data from MoneySuperMarket analysed the last decade's worth of international football tournaments to establish the cost of attending one and reveal the true cost of attending the World Cup tournament.

According to the research, fans looking to follow England to their group stage games against Tunisia, Panama and Belgium will need to budget for a minimum of £3,803, and that's before internal travel is factored into the equation.

With group stage games in Volgograd and Nizhny Novgorod (987.8 kilometres apart respectively) and also Kaliningrad (a province between Poland and Lithuania), the cost of travelling around the country could mount up considerably early into the tournament.
