Football Fever

The FIFA World Cup 2026™ starts on Thursday 11th June, and for football-loving families across the UK, that can only mean one thing...

Football Fever.

With most matches kicking off after 8pm, many parents will be facing a dilemma: stick to kids bedtime routines or let little football fans stay up late.

Inevitably there's going to be a few families running late for school the next day!

So we've done two things...

Firstly, we've created a unique 1/1 Three Lions Football Shirt (aged 4-6) which we are giving away for FREE on our Instagram. Click here to enter!

Secondly, we've created Football Fever Prescription Forms to help explain absences when kids are late to school after watching the big games. 

Common Football Fever symptoms include:

• Staying awake beyond normal bedtime
• Excessive goal celebrations
• Repeated shouting of "COME ON ENGLAND!"
• Uncontrollable optimism
• Believing football is coming home

Let's hope our Football Fever Prescription Forms help parents and teachers identify these symptoms and young fans can officially record their diagnosis, symptoms and recovery programme after a night supporting England.

Recommended treatment includes:

• Outdoor football
• Fresh air
• Extra snacks
• Plenty of hydration
• An early bedtime

The Football Fever Prescription is completely free to download, print and complete.

Good luck England. And good luck to all the parents attempting bedtime during the World Cup!
