England will wear their blue away kit for the World Cup final on Sunday against Spain, it has been confirmed. The Lionesses has been drawn as 'Team B', and will therefore wear the same kit they beat Australia in 3-1 to reach the final on Wednesday. Spain will play in their home kit, which has dark blue shorts, meaning England's home kit, which has dark blue shorts too, would clash if they wore it - hence the change. England used to wear white shorts but they changed to dark blue after players said they were concerned about blood leaking onto them if playing during their periods. Excitement is ramping up for the match which marks the first time England has played in a World Cup Final since 1966. Pubs may open earlier to accommodate punters hoping to get a taste of the action, which starts at 11am UK time and will be played in Australia, but those hoping for an extra bank holiday if England brings it home will be disappointed as the government has confirmed that won't be happening. Nevertheless, it is going to be an exciting weekend. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

England are on the brink of sporting greatness after making it to the Women’s World Cup final. The Lionesses showed their quality to beat tournament co-hosts Australia 3-1 in their semi-final with Ella Toone, Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo all scoring in a brilliant end-to-end game. Now, they have the chance to win their first ever World Cup, but they’ll face tough opposition from Spain on Sunday (August 20). It’s a massive opportunity for the Lionesses, who came heartbreakingly short with semi-final defeats in both 2015 and 2019. England manager Sarina Wiegman said she was “in a fairytale” after guiding England to the final for the first time, and anticipation is higher than ever after more than seven million people tuned in to watch the Australia game on the BBC. The final takes place at 11am on Sunday and there are plenty of places showing the game in the capital. As ever with such a big event, there's huge demand. Many screenings have sold out already and some in the list below will definitely be full capacity by Sunday. However, some venues have waiting lists for fans to register their interest. Just remember to book and double check you've got a spot before heading down. These are the places to catch the action on the big screen in London this Sunday. Canada Square Park Canada Square Park in Canary Wharf has been offering free screenings of sporting moments all summer, and they’re showing the final on Sunday too. It’s one of the few outdoor screenings so far advertised in the capital and spaces are dished out on a first come, first serve basis. There are two screens in the main park and then one in Cabot Square, too. As the website warns, “audience space is unreserved and limited and, due to the popularity of events, capacity can be reached within a short period of time. You may find areas closed on arrival due to reaching capacity”. 25 Canada Square, E14 5AH, canarywharf.com Vinegar Yard Vinegar Yard will be showing the big game on its al fresco screens, and while the entry is free, the venue is walk-in only and spots are allocated on a first come, first served basis. If you can get a spot, though, this central London venue is a great spot to take in the action and enjoy delicious food from a range of vendors on Sunday. 72-82 St Thomas St, SE1 3QX, vinegaryard.london Clapham Grand One of the best event spaces south of the river is opening up its doors again for the football. The venue will be open at 9:45am and the bars open at 10am.

Clapham Junction, 21-25 St John’s Hill, SW11 1TT, claphamgrand.com Boxpark (Shoreditch, Croydon and Wembley) – sold out It’s perhaps unsurprising that Boxpark sold out 2,500 tickets for its three venues straight after England beat Australia.

Blenheim Grove, SE15 4QN, peckhamarches.com Big Penny Social – join the waiting list Even Big Penny Social, the UK’s biggest beer hall in Walthamstow, is struggling for space on Sunday. The event is currently sold out, but fans can apply to join the waiting list in the hope of bagging a free ticket.
