What's On
A covered football fan park for the 2022 World Cup is coming to Manchester
A number of footballing legends will be providing live commentary throughout the games
Manchester is set to embrace the unusually chilly World Cup with the arrival of an immersive covered football fan park.
The highly-anticipated football tournament is set to look slightly different this year, with it being hosted in the middle of winter over in Qatar from November 21st to December 18th.
This means instead of soaking up the summer sun with jugs of beer, football fans will this year be forced to don scarves and hats, all while retreating to the warmth of pubs and any establishment with decent central heating.
But luckily for Mancunian fans, a covered football fan park will be arriving at Soccer 6’s in Trafford Park to host the ultimate viewing experience.

4TheFans is bringing back the big game atmosphere and immersive fan experience following a hugely successful summer last year, where it housed 25,000 fans for the Euros tournament.
Trafford Park will be transformed into the ultimate football venue, with huge anti-glare screens, world-class sound systems, an exclusive bar, local food traders, DJs, and competitions with huge prizes to be won.
And as per 4TheFans tradition, each match screening will welcome a footballing legend, with favourites last year including Paul Merson, Tony Cottee, Trevor Sinclair, Wes Brown and Stuart Downing.
These football icons will provide exclusive match analysis throughout the games, alongside ‘bags of banter’ as they engage with fans.
