 Fans enjoying the WEURO fan party on Devonshire Green
All Fan Parties are neutral zones where fans from all nations can come together to enjoy pre-match excitement.
Entry to the Fan Party is controlled but not ticketed. People can leave and re-enter but there is a capacity limit on site, once this is reached people will only be permitted entry on a one-in one-out basis.
A water fountain is available for refills and remember no alcohol, cans or glass can be brought on site. For safety reasons, we're unable to allow people to bring chairs on site either, but blankets welcome!
Our month long celebration is well underway with events and activities all over the city....
