Start of Euro 2020 Football this Friday evening between Turkey and Italy. From June 11 to July 11, the Euro will be in full swing in France against the backdrop of a pandemic. The France team plays its first match next Tuesday against Germany. Several ways to follow the matches, at home, in bars but what about traditional fan zones which bring together thousands of people in front of a giant screen? Overview.
Toulouse city hall is looking for the right solution
In Toulouse, the town hall is racking its brains to imagine a giant screen in the city center. On the other hand and it is a certainty, there will be no fan zone in the city center of Toulouse. before a possible qualification of the Blues in the semi-final of the Euro.
The mayor, Jean-Luc Moudenc is in favor of a rally project and “wishes to please the people of Toulouse” but in the case, he is not the only decision maker. The town hall is awaiting directives from the Ministry of Sports and the approval of the prefecture of Haute-Garonne. In the event of a fan zone, the organizers must scrupulously respect the specifications. A gauge to keep and probably an audience to keep seated. A point that can be reassessed depending on the health situation.
In the Sappiac Sports Park in Montauban?
The subject is also discussed in the town hall of Montauban. All employees work in a single fan zone. It could be the Sappiac Sports Park, the stadium used by US Montauban in rugby.
There will be no gatherings at the Jardin des Plantes, nor on the Place Nationale to follow the Blues matches. The Prefecture of Tarn-et-Garonne would be in favor of the Sappiac project, it would make it possible to keep a certain social distance, to welcome more people and thus, probably avoid supporters to remain seated.
Contacted, the town hall of Albi does not wish (yet) to comment. The file is being examined to assess the best possibility.
