Fan zones where you can watch the FINA World Championships for free
If you’re wondering where you should watch the competitions of the World Aquatics Championships, the organisers got you covered. Hvg.hu writes that there’s going to be fan zones in Budapest and Balatonfüred where you can cheer.
The fan zones, which can be visited for free, will welcome everyone with huge screens every day during the championships from 9 am until the end of the races. “We welcome fans with concerts, colourful programmes and playgrounds so that all age groups can do something entertaining during or between the races” said Miklós Borsa, the spokesperson of the Organising Committee.
There’s going to be two fan zones in Budapest, one near the Dagály Beach and the other in the Athletics Centre on Margaret Island, while there’s also going to be a fan zone in Balatonfüred, on the Tagore Promenade.
A lot of attention will be paid to the safety of the zones, so organisers forewarn visitors to expect strict safety measures upon entering. They suggest arriving one hour before the race you’d like to watch in the fan zone.
It’s forbidden to take in objects that are not allowed in sport events in general. For instance, umbrellas, bigger flagpoles and inapposite banners will have to be left outside. You’ll be able to take in a 0.5 litre bottle to the fan zones, but these are prohibited at sport venues, where buffets will be functioning instead.
The organisers will provide storage units at the entrance and take care of your objects until the end of the programmes. You can read more about the regulations on the official website of the championships.
Furthermore, we’re pretty sure that bars, pubs and restaurants all over the country will also broadcast the races.
