The nation’s elite are preparing to invest approximately £250,000 in advanced security measures for the upcoming tournament in Germany. This includes the deployment of infrared and night-vision technology, as well as round-the-clock personal protection.
Many have also opted to enlist the services of former special forces for additional security. Some wealthy individuals in Manchester have gone so far as to install panic rooms in their luxury homes to safeguard their families.
Notably, prominent footballers such as Harry Maguire, Jordan Pickford, and Jack Grealish have also taken significant steps to enhance their personal security. This decision follows a distressing incident last December, when thieves targeted Grealish’s newly acquired £5.6 million mansion, resulting in the theft of valuable jewelry and watches.
The harrowing experience prompted Grealish’s family to take refuge in a panic room while the burglary took place. In response to these security concerns, it has been suggested that the partners of England’s footballers are considering hiring their own security team for the duration of the tournament.
This additional measure is estimated to cost around £100,000 for the month. The total financial outlay for security during the tournament could reach £250,000, with the potential for even higher expenses if England progresses to the final.
