Overview
- Germany will play Ivory Coast on Saturday, June 20, with kick-off at 22:00 CET and organisers across cities are finalising public-viewing plans for that match.
- Munich venues offering large-screen viewing include Pineapple Park with an outdoor LED screen for up to 1,000 people, Kino am Olympiasee with a large indoor screen and ticket vouchers, and Backstage with free entry and early beer-garden openings.
- The Essen site 'MIP-Festival Wiese am Donnerberg' held a public viewing for Germany’s opening match and has raised its LED screen, ordered more toilets, and added extra beer benches after visitor criticism.
- Public viewings must follow permits, GEMA fees, security and fire-safety plans, and in North Rhine-Westphalia a general night quiet rule from 22:00 can limit event duration without special approval.
- Fans should expect reservations, minimum-spend rules or ticketed entry at some sites and should arrive early because organisers are using seating limits and vouchers to manage capacity and sightlines.
