10月9日，来自24直播网的最新消息透露，英格兰的圣乔治公园即将迎来一场翻天覆地的改造工程，预计将在2028年欧洲杯来临之前完成重建。
The expansive 330-acre facility became operational in 2012, coinciding with the London Olympics. Since then, the England national team has emerged as a formidable force, reaching the European Championship final, only to be defeated in the World Cup semifinals this summer. The England women's team, under the stewardship of Wiegman, has secured successive European Championship titles. As the nation gears up, preparations are underway for the "St. George's Park 2.0" project, a comprehensive renovation set to be completed before the 2028 European Cup, which will be jointly hosted by England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland.
Over a decade ago, the English national team's headquarters, which cost 105 million pounds, boasts 13 outdoor pitches, a replica of the Wembley Stadium grass, a full-size indoor 3G pitch, a spacious gym, a swimming pool, and a five-a-side court, complete with a dedicated Peter Shilton goalkeeper training area. However, the facility is undergoing a renovation to cater to the needs of all teams. Players like Kane will have to hold off, as construction work is expected to last for the next 18 months.
足球协会对规划进行了全面调整，旨在创建一座集现代化媒体、数字化技术及创新设施于一体的全新足球基地。计划中还包括建设两个新的球场枢纽，旨在实现训练设施的完美融合，并配备国际一流的健身中心和室内4G球场。所有球场的草皮也将得到全面提升，球场周边将新建配备最新屏幕的枢纽建筑，同时训练与恢复设施也将得到显著改善。位于园区内的希尔顿酒店，拥有228间客房，也将焕然一新。此外，还为球星们提供了休闲放松的专属空间。
安迪·萨弗里，圣乔治公园的负责人，强调道："我们的目标是通过这一举措助力英格兰各级别国家队在比赛中取得胜利。"英足总的足球总监丹·阿什沃思补充说："圣乔治公园2.0项目是我们为了紧跟体育产业，尤其是足球领域的迅猛发展步伐而实施的一项工程，旨在确保我们的领先地位。"
英格兰各层级足球队将于2027年上半年面临搬迁的困境。在今年的夏季，巴塞罗那与瓦伦西亚的男子足球队在圣乔治公园进行了赛前训练，而随着设施的升级改造，这些高端设施将有望在本土举办的欧洲杯赛事中迎接英格兰国家队的归来。
