The FIFA World Cup is about to kick off, and if you’re in Manchester over the summer there’s only one place to be when England play their first match against Croatia. Located just a short walk from Oxford Road, Boundary is the perfect central fan zone to watch every moment unfold live on screen.

On 17 June, Boundary is becoming a full-on fan zone experience, bringing together huge screens, a world-class sound system, live DJs and hundreds of football fans for one massive evening of World Cup celebrations. Expect chants, match-day energy and the kind of atmosphere only live football can create.

The event promises a lot more than just football. Doors open ahead of kick-off at 6pm so fans can soak up the pre-match build up with music, drinks and plenty of anticipation before the action starts on screen. Whether you’re a die-hard supporter or just there for the vibes, this is shaping up to be the start of the biggest and best nights of the summer.

And honestly, the drink deals alone are enough to convince your group chat, with pints under a fiver and the first 100 people through the door getting a free can of Jubel, arriving early definitely has it perks.

Tickets are already on sale starting from just £4 for early bird entry, making this one of the cheapest ways to experience the World Cup atmosphere in Manchester this summer, and so definitely book sooner rather than later!
