To celebrate the Euro as it should be, it is important to prepare. Take care to select the place beforehand and especially the decorations and supporters' accessories to be used for the occasion. Here are some ideas to inspire you for these events.
What are the supporter accessories to be expected for Euro 2021?
Fan accessories are essential to set the mood during the party: they express support for the national team and will become a sign of pride. Reason why they are essential:
The supporter's horn
The fan horn is the object that you must have during the Euro 2021 Football Championship to celebrate the goals of the team you support. It also helps to set the mood during the match and encourage the players. The supporter's horn is also very practical, because it is assembled in two parts. Then just pump it to make it ring endlessly.
Makeup
Makeup is an original and fun way to support the national team by displaying its colors directly on the face. Note that makeup is easy to use: it is diluted in water and applied with a brush.
You can opt for the classic warrior make-up with the colored bands on the cheeks or the footballer who dribble to produce using a stencil. The most passionate can also make up their entire face in the colors of their favorite team's flag.
footballer costume
The sports events decoration and accessories shops offer products on the theme of Football Euro 2021, including costumes for supporters. The set consists of a shirt and shorts printed with a number and a flag. It is particularly suitable for composing a look to attend matches at home or in stadiums. You will easily find outfits in the colors of France.
Where to party?
If the question of fan accessories is quickly resolved, the next problem concerns the place where to watch the matches and celebrate the victories. Fortunately, with the lifting of current and future restrictions, you will be able to join other supporters in public places. This will allow you to enjoy the event in a festive atmosphere.
At home
Euro 2021 Football matches are scheduled to take place in 12 iconic stadiums. Spread across Europe, these include Italy, Bucharest and Hungary. But none of these confrontations will take place in France. Fans of family-friendly football evenings can party at home. In this case, it will be necessary to make sure to decorate the living room well!
As with fan accessories, a wide selection of decorative items on the theme of Euro 2021 is available in specialist stores. Thus, you can decorate the room with tricolor garlands with plastic flags in the colors of the national flag on the occasion of the matches of the blue team. These can also be part of decoration kits made up of other accessories such as balloons, wall hangings, fans, banners, etc.
Those who receive guests for the occasion can also bet on a beautiful table decoration with a tricolor tablecloth. It is also possible to provide small supporting accessories for the guests: mini-flags, cardboard flower cockades, luminous badges, etc.
Party in a fan zone
The fan zones are places of gathering and jubilation in the event of a victory for the national team. Many feared their ban due to the pandemic which continues to claim lives in the country.
However, the Minister responsible for Sports has confirmed the possibility of setting up fan-zones throughout France during Football Euro 2021. These places will however be subject to the same regulations as sports places, in particular with regard to the capacity of 'welcome. Thus, the fan zones can only receive 65% of their reception capacity and it will be compulsory to present a health pass when the attendance exceeds 1000 people.
In the fan zones located outdoors, the ministry provides the possibility of accommodating up to 5,000 people. There is also a good chance that spectators will be required to present a negative PCR test or a vaccination certificate. Wearing a mask remains an obligation.
Similarly, strict respect for barrier gestures and social distancing will be required to limit the spread of the virus. In order to minimize the risks to your health and that of those around you, it is therefore strongly advised to comply with it, even when the joy is at its height. Officials will communicate the exact location of the fan-zones closer to the first match of the Euros.
In bars and terraces
If France qualifies for the final phase of the competition, it may also be tempting to celebrate in bars and terraces. These are also open at the moment. In addition, another lifting of the restrictions is envisaged by the Government by June 30, which will allow supporters to celebrate more freely if France reach the Euro final. These establishments frequently offer evenings on the theme of the Euro with a giant screen. You can come and watch the matches while enjoying a festive atmosphere with family or friends, with food and refreshments available.
These places will also remain subject to the health measures imposed by the administration, in particular on the limitation of tables to a maximum of 6 people. It is however interesting to note that bars and restaurants are authorized to accommodate up to 100% of the reception gauge.
