As is tradition at major tournaments, Hyundai Motor will host thousands of football supporters at its hugely-popular Fan Parks, venues where fans can cheer for their teams with friends and family while watching the matches live on large screens. Hosted at five major cities – Berlin (Germany), Madrid (Spain), Torino (Italy), Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and Sydney (Australia) – fans will be able to experience the exciting atmosphere of the month-long tournament.
