Boxing Day is a tradition “so British” – France Info

In England, no truce for football players. This Saturday, there will be the traditional Boxing Day matches. And this year, the English Premier League is crazy. Leicester, who narrowly avoided relegation last year, is in the lead. Chelsea, who won the championship last season, is currently 15th in the standings.

This is one of the great traditions of English football. At 12:45, the Boxing Day game day begins. In full digestion of the Christmas dinner, the spectators go to the stadium, often with family and they love it. Simon Wagman, a supporter of Arsenal: “The Boxing Day is great for the family, he exclaims Everyone comes Often it’s a nice game.. . It is easy to get around by car to the stadium. Generally, the atmosphere is nicer than usual. There are many families, many young children … The atmosphere is good! “

There are 60, also played on Christmas Day

And if playing football the day of Boxing Day may seem a strange tradition, a little rough for the players, this is actually a break compared to what was once described this expert: “There are 60 years, we played football on Christmas Day The kick was. 11:15 before Christmas dinner. And it went on like that until the late 1950s it was history. The day of football, it was Christmas. And what happened is that played at home on Christmas Day and we were playing against the same team, on the outside, the next day, the day of the Boxing Day! “
