When it comes to football, no one can deny that Manchester is pretty up there with the most passionate fanbases and, let’s face it, the best teams. This passion tends to continue when the national team assembles for a big tournament, so the return of the Road to Victory fan zone for the 2024 Euros in Manchester is big news for us.
Following World Cup success at Depot Mayfield in 2022 where 28,000 fans supported England to a narrow miss, Road to Victory has announced the return of its fully immersive football fan zone experience at new home Diecast. In time for all the Euros action, Road to Victory will launch on Sunday 16 June for England’s first game against Serbia.
With over 30,000 square foot of Euros action and space for 3,000 fans at Road to Victory, Diecast features a sprawling Brooklyn Beer Hall for up to 2,500 standing fans with multiple screens and one large festival LED screen. Hospitality packages will be available to book in Leno Ex Machina for up to 300 fans, and four private, VIP Rum Town Caravans to hire for up to 40 guests per caravan.
Presented by AIX Live, Road to Victory promises immense production combined with the latest interactive technology to deliver an incredible multi-sensory football experience. Fans will be wowed by a fully immersive light show, adding to the electric atmosphere for England’s biggest Euro matches. The entire venue will light up yellow or red as corresponding-coloured cards are given out, to fans’ delight or dismay.
Music, cheering and football chants will all add to the experience. There will also be pre and post-match entertainment with DJ’s, hosts, quizzes, special guests, competitions and more. Bookings for up to eight people can be made in Leno for Hospitality tables and are priced at £20 per person. They include one pizza per person and sharing tots, plus table service with ice cold beers to your table. Standing tickets must also be purchased to enter the Beer Hall Fan Zone.
Diecast’s famed ‘NeoPan’ (Neapolitan meets NYC) style pizzas will be available in Marinara (ve), Margherita, Pepperoni and Verdura (v). On the tatertots menu will be Classic (ve), Truffle & Pecorino (v) and Hot (v).
Alisha Crompton from Diecast said: “The Road to Victory experience and Diecast go hand in hand, our Brooklyn Beer Hall and Leno are perfect for fans to enjoy the best atmosphere at the chicest football venue in town during the Euros.”
Fans attending Road to Victory with standing or hospitality tickets must arrive at Diecast two hours before official kick-off, and England vs Serbia ticket holders must arrive for 6pm.
As England progresses throughout the group stages, tickets for future dates will become available online. You can sign-up for early bird standing tickets, priced at £10, here − standard standing and hospitality booking will be available from Tuesday 28 May at 9am.
📍 The Road to Victory fan zone will be located at Diecast, 51 Ducie St, Manchester, M1 2JQ.
