In addition to the official UEFA EURO 2008 Fan Zones on the Exhibition Grounds and in Neuer Platz, the city centre will also be a fan area.
"We want a perfect party for citizens of Klagenfurt and guests", said the chairman of the Organising Committee, Manfred Pock. Together with fan zone organiser Stefan Petschnig and project coordinator Carlos Fernandez de Retana, he presented an overview of the most important plans concerning aspects such as fan areas, accommodation for visitors, traffic and parking.
In Klagenfurt alone there will be about 6,000 pitches for campers in addition to the hotels, B&Bs and private accommodation. "In the surroundings, an additional 20,000 places on camping sites will be available", said OC boss Pock who sees everything in a positive light. "We want to make the European Football Championship a party for the whole of Carinthia. It is important that all regions from Lake Klopeiner See to Lake Millstätter See are onboard."
