ITV bring a World Cup 'fan park' to Manchester where fans and families can watch the tournament on a big screen at the old Granada Studios.
World Cup games are screened live from Brazil every match day throughout the tournament at the Manchester event called ITV Fever Pitch.
450 tonnes of sand create a Brazili.an-style beach soccer stadium at the heart of the fan park, with the games broadcast live on the arena’s giant 40 square metre screen.
During the group stages, the arena will also host beach soccer matches before the live action from Brazil, organised by Beach Soccer Worldwide, with fans being able to watch England’s beach soccer team take on some of the best players in the world from Italy, Uruguay, Costa Rica and Germany.
The ‘Little Copacabana’ beach area of the park offers the chance to enjoy the atmosphere and relax before the big game. The High Tempo zone will offer visitors a chance to work up a sweat and demonstrate their own football skills, and there will also be a range of Brazilian themed food and drink on offer.
