THE TEE LIONS

Luxury retreat is just par-fect for Kane ’n Co

- JOHN CROSS

ENGLAND stars have checked into their luxury Euros resort – and are ready for their biggest treat yet.

Gareth Southgate has always stressed the need for the best possible basecamp and training facilities to give themselves every chance of succeeding in a tournament.

They stayed in Repino, about 45 minutes outside of St Petersburg, during the Russia World Cup and tried to immerse themselves in the feel of being in Qatar by staying in a hotel next to a soukh in Al Wakrah in 2022.

But Golfresort Weimarer Land – about half-hour drive from Erfurt – has a totally different feel of luxury and, as the name suggests, boasts two 18-hole courses and another nine-hole course – great news for Harry Kane.

The luxury 94-room resort also has two full-size football pitches and luxury spa facilities, where suites cost upwards of £300 a night.

FA staff go to endless lengths to get every detail right and insiders say this might be the best tournament basecamp to date.
