AFC Wimbledon will show off the League Two play-off final trophy as they parade through the town centre in an open-top bus next month.
Wimbledon will be awash with yellow and blue on Sunday, July 3, to mark the club’s promotion to the third tier of English football for the first time in their history.
Neal Ardley and his players will head through Wimbledon Village down the hill towards the Broadway before stopping at the Piazza to present the squad and silverware.
Mayor of Merton, Councillor Brenda Fraser, as first citizen of the borough accompanied by the Leader of the Council, Councillor Stephen Alambritis will also be on the bus.
AFC Wimbledon chief executive, Erik Samuelson said: “It has been a whirlwind since we won promotion.
“The players worked incredibly hard last season and took a short break immediately after the promotion game, so they’re fit and ready before next season kicks off.
