While exact locations for 2026 have not been confirmed yet, similar events are usually held in easily accessible areas in the city centre.

If you’re travelling without a match ticket, it’s worth staying in a central area. This makes it easier to move between fan zones, bars, and public viewing spots.

Where to watch the match
Besides the official fan zones, there will be plenty of alternatives across the city:
- Sports bars showing the final
- Public screenings in busy areas
- Bars and terraces with outdoor screens (depending on weather)
Areas with a higher concentration of bars and nightlife are usually the best places to find a good atmosphere during the match.
