US Edition300,000 Newcastle fans take to the streets for Carabao Cup victory party
- On a Saturday, Newcastle celebrated their League Cup success, their first major trophy since 1969 and first domestic cup in 70 years, with an open-top bus parade through the city, attended by an estimated 250,000 to 300,000 fans.
- After a long period lacking glory, Newcastle's fortunes have been revived following the 2021 takeover by the Saudi sovereign wealth fund, leading to Champions League qualification last season and a current position of sixth in the Premier League under manager Eddie Howe.
- The parade began at St. James' Park, traveled through the city center, and ended at Town Moor, where players and figures from Newcastle's past were welcomed on stage, with festivities concluding with a drone show by club sponsors Sela, a Saudi entertainment and hospitality company.
- Manager Eddie Howe, whose face was displayed on a massive banner opposite St. James' Park, described the celebration as "really incredible, absolutely mind-blowing," while club legend Alan Shearer, Newcastle's all-time leading scorer, admitted, "I don't know where I am, what time it is."
- Dan Burn, who scored a goal, expressed that the scenes brought to life what ending the long wait for silverware meant to Tyneside, stating, "Something I'll never forget," while Howe emphasized the team's hunger for more success, saying, "We are hungry for more.
