Speaking about his appearance, Waddle said: “I'm hoping this is the year we end our trophy drought and crown ourselves as champions of Europe. It's going to be extra special coming back to Sheffield, where I spent four happy years as a player.”

The family-friendly village will have a capacity of 4,000 and open on Friday, June 14, for Scotland’s meeting with Germany. All games not involving England will be screened free of charge, whereas tickets will be required for matches involving the Three Lions. Tickets are set to go on sale on May 1 and VIP packages will also be available.

Following England’s tournament against opener, they will face Denmark and Slovenia in their remaining group stage fixtures.
