This is a story from the FSF archive – the FSF and SD merged to become the FSA in 2019.
Euro 2016 is the closest major tournament to Britain since the 2006 World Cup in Germany – that means tens of thousands of travelling fans and the FSF is working hard to offer each and every one the best support.
With that in mind it makes sense to create one page where we can link to a whole host of useful information for fans. We’ll also add relevant news updates as they come in – although if you’re on Facebook or Twitter it’s worth following the FSF feeds as it’s often easier to update those with the latest information when we’re on-the-move.
Ticket collection is at the Acropolis Expositions, not Acropolis Congrès which you will pass if walking from fanzone pic.twitter.com/2B0xaUY9vL

Fans travelling to the Lens/Lille area for the England versus Wales match on 16 June should be aware that the match between Russia and Slovakia will take place in Lille on 15 June and large numbers of fans are expected to be in the city. Fans are advised to be cautious and those without tickets for the match should avoid Lille and Lens during this period.
Prefets (the local French government office) across France have been authorised to take all necessary measures in order to prohibit the sale, consumption and transport of alcoholic drinks on match days, pre-match days and whenever the local fan zones are open. Please consult local information sources.
The Marseille police have asked us to pass on their offer of an escorted walk to the stadium for tonight’s match. The intention behind this is to offer protection to England fans, after some of us have been subject to attack by other groups in the last couple of days.
England fans who want to join this escorted walk – there is absolutely no obligation to do so, participation is entirely voluntary – should assemble at the top of the Old Port, at the bottom of the street called La Canebière, at 18.00.
England fans traveling to the ground by Metro, particularly those with tickets for the official England sector, are being advised to use the last station on Metro line 2 (the red line), Ste Marguerite Dromel.
Security checks on the way into the stadium will be thorough and time-consuming, so please arrive at the stadium as early as possible if you want to be sure of seeing the kick-off. Gates will open at 18.00.
