Soccer comes home – for public viewing of the European Championships

The UEFA EURO 2024 will take place in our big brother Germany. From June 14 to July 14, Europe will once again be in soccer fever. Austria will be right in the middle of it all this year. Live as the team of the hour in the preliminary round in Düsseldorf and twice in Berlin with the aim of reaching the round of 16 - not an impossibility given the excellent quality of our team. Accordingly, the anticipation and euphoria is growing, and not just among soccer fans.

And because soccer alone in the living room does not match the social and unifying verve, the Innsbruck region indulges in public viewing. In fact, several larger and smaller squares, places and pubs are transformed into casual locations. A selection.

The official location of the city of Innsbruck is the SILLPARK forecourt. 1.500 visitors can keep their fingers crossed for their favorite team and meet up with friends and like-minded people. Snacks and drinks as well as competitions, DJ sound and face painting for children round off the program. On non-match days, the colorful SILLPARK summer program including a morning pint will take place. All matches will be shown on a big screen. Parking is available in the underground garage of the Sillpark shopping center. Admission is free.

With excellent snacks and drinks, screen time is even more entertaining: the large, covered terrace offers comfortable seating for 100 fans, and if the wind and weather don't cooperate, the soccer festival continues indoors.
