Newcastle United is set to celebrate its historic English League Cup win with an open-top bus parade on Saturday. This marks the club’s first major domestic trophy in 70 years, and fans are eager to join the celebration.
The parade will begin at St. James’ Park, travel through the city center, and end at Town Moor, where a stage has been set up for an hour-long event. The celebration will feature speeches from players and a special trophy lift. Over 150,000 fans are expected to attend.
Newcastle secured the title by defeating Liverpool 2-1 at Wembley Stadium nearly two weeks ago. This is their first domestic trophy since winning the FA Cup in 1955. The club also won the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1969, a European competition.
The victory parade is scheduled to begin at 4:30 p.m. local time. Meanwhile, Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has been nominated for the prestigious “Freedom of the City” honor, joining club legends like Alan Shearer, Bobby Robson, and Shaka Hislop.
Fans can expect an unforgettable day as Newcastle celebrates this long-awaited triumph.
