#3 Gloucester Fan Zone for Rugby World Cup 2015

During the 2015 Rugby World Cup, the city of Gloucester offered its residents the opportunity to watch the match in a somewhat special fan zone. A giant screen mounted between rugby posts, a lawn in the pit, bleachers, a bar, does that remind you of anything? A real stadium? The organizing committee was inspired by the country's rugby stadiums to create its fan zone. No need to pay for a stadium ticket, the Gloucester Fan Zone lets you feel like you're at the game.

#2 FIFA Fan Fest in Rio de Janeiro for the 2014 FIFA World Cup

In 2014, Brazil organized its first World Cup. For the occasion, the Brazilians did not take things lightly and set up some fan zones "made in Brazil". Feet in the white sand of Copacabana, in the sun, with a view of the Bossa-nova sea… in short, all the ingredients were there to watch a match in the land of football. An immediate success judging by this image of thousands of supporters gathered in this Fan Zone to follow the 2014 World Cup under a blazing sun!

#1 Champ de Mars FAN ZONE for EURO 2016

A space of 130,000 square meters which can accommodate up to 92,000 spectators was set up during EURO 2016. Surely the most beautiful FAN ZONE in the history of international football competitions. All of Europe still remembers it! Watching a EURO 2016 match at the foot of the Eiffel Tower remains an exceptional experience.

BONUS : The little extra by bFAN SPORTS…

The Moscow Fan Zone for the World Cup in June 2018. Located right next to the main building of Lomonosov Moscow State University in Vorobyovy Gory (Sparrow Hill). This place, typically inspired by Soviet architecture, will host concerts, shows and a giant screen for all football lovers. However, this FAN ZONE is already creating controversy... Indeed, Muscovite students have already protested for having seen their semester shortened and are beginning to worry about the ecological consequences of the city's "green lung". A first black spot for the sporting event when the competition has not yet started.
