Among those cheering from home will be lucky Shropshire schoolgirl Eliana Jalaf Hadley, aged 10, of Stableford, near Bridgnorth who was a mascot at the tournament's opening game, after winning a Lidl supermarket competition.
She flew to Munich with her father Gary to join the players from Germany and Scotland on June 14.
