As part of the arrangements for this year's World Cup, all 12 venues will be organising an official 'fan park' in their city, where fans can gather, party and watch the games on giant screens.

Pedestrianised city centre The centre of Cologne is made up of narrow pedestrianised streets and hemmed-in squares.
Rather than using one, large, out-of-town area for the fan park, the city council is therefore planning to transform the whole of the inner city area into one big 'Fan Fest'! |

Make friends in the inner city There will be entertainers, games of keepy-uppy and numerous stages set up throughout the inner city, with the area between Heumarkt / Altermarkt and Wallraf Platz becoming the main place to stroll around, relax and, as FIFA would have us do, 'make friends'!
At least 2 big screens Large screens are planned for live broadcast of the games at Roncalliplatz and Heumarkt.
