Councillor Salma Arif, Leeds City Council’s executive member for economy said:
The whole country is behind England and it’s fantastic that fans will have the chance to come together and enjoy this incredible occasion in the open air at the heart of the city centre.
The atmosphere on Millennium Square is always a one-of-a-kind and probably the closest you can get to being there.
Leeds is a city that’s always had a massive passion for sport, and I know the fans will do England proud as we cheer them on in what will hopefully be another memorable win.
