Euro 2024 is just days away from kicking off with millions of fans expected to descend on Germany across the next month-and-a-half.
10 stadiums across the country will host matches, with the final being held in the Olympiastadion Berlin, home to Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin. There are plenty of places to watch in Germany, too, with the nation famously football-mad.
And as available tickets become increasingly sparse, fans will undoubtedly look to catch the action via alternative means.
That might be in pubs and bars across the nation – but there are specific venues erected just for Euro 2024 this summer, too.
As confirmed by UEFA, fan parks will be littered around the country allowing fans to enjoy the atmosphere and the action even without a ticket for the game.
Each host city will provide their own fan park: here's a closer look at each one.
Where are the Euro 2024 fan parks?
Berlin
Berlin, Brandenburg Gate
The capital will host fan zones in two separate locations. Firstly, the historic Brandenburg Gate will see the nearby space turned into a giant football pitch featuring 'the world's largest goal'. On days without games, films will be broadcast across the giant screen on five summer evenings.
