Multiple reports say a group of England supporters who travelled to the 1986 World Cup in Mexico have not returned home in the usual way and are now expected to be reunited during this summer’s tournament. The accounts describe the fans as young men in their twenties at the time, who travelled to Mexico when they were down on their luck and out of work. They went to support England at the World Cup and, according to the reports, their lives in the years that followed meant they did not “come home” as expected by those closest to them. The coverage says the group is now set to gather again around this year’s World Cup in a reunion that brings them back together with fellow supporters after decades. While the sources share the broad outline—who they were at the time, that the journey was prompted by hardship, and that a reunion is planned—details such as their current locations, how the reunion is being coordinated, and any official confirmation from tournament organizers are not provided in the excerpts.
