Fan zone

SunSport says: The official Frankfurt fan zone will be on the spectacular northern bank of the River Main.

The 1.5km stretch of grass sits between the Holbeinsteg and Friedensbrucke bridges - which fans launched themselves into the river from during the 2006 World Cup.

Vast screens dotted along the bank, plus one which sits in the water, will make for a perfect place to watch all the live Euro 2024 games - including England vs Denmark if you haven't got a ticket.

The fan zone is just a short walk from Frankfurt's main station - from where you can get a six minute train to the Deutsche Bank Park stadium.

If you have not got a ticket, what better place to watch the Three Lions than with thousands of your fellow fans at this stunning riverside spot.

England fans party in Frankfurt 24 hours ahead of Euro clash with Denmark

Stadium

SunSport says: Eintracht Frankfurt's 58,000 seater Deutsche Bank Park will host England at a major tournament for the second time in 18 years when they meet Denmark on Thursday.

But Three Lions fans would be forgiven for forgetting that World Cup 2006 opener.

England staggered past Paraguay 1-0 thanks to Carlos Gamarra heading David Beckham's free-kick into his own net after three minutes.

Eintracht Frankfurt finished sixth in the Bundesliga last season.

And they beat Barcelona and West Ham on the way to winning the 2022 Europa League final with a win over Rangers on penalties.

Chelsea and Arsenal have also visited the ground - also known as the Waldstadion - in Europe in recent years.

The stadium was originally opened in 1925.

But the most recent renovation, in 2005, cost £127million and saw a retractable roof added.

Eintracht have some of the loudest and most passionate fans in Europe.

And Gareth Southgate will hope the travelling masses of Three Lions fans can emulate them and drown out their Danish counterparts.

Best place for England fans to gather

Basti says: "TheareaaroundtheRiverMain.

"England fans discovered it during the2006WorldCupbecause they were jumping off of all the bridges [into the water].

"So some supporters who are a little older will remember that area.

"But definitely there because you have the city nearby as well as the old town. Fans will have everything around them.

"Frankfurt is a very small town so you can reach everything."

SunSport says: The official fan zone is an amazing central spot to hang out and watch football.

Unlike the Gelsenkirchen one which was out of town.

But the riverside views are amazing and also you are just around the corner from the historic Romer market which will also be packed with England fans.

The sprawling square is surrounded by some iconic traditional German buildings.

And both the fan zone and the Romer are easy spots to reach the stadium from on public transport.

"And onthecornerrightoutside the main stationisO'Reilly'sIrish pub which is perfect for watching the Euro 2024 games before England play Denmark."

But it is in a perfect location - you can't miss it as you walk out of Frankfurt's main train station.
