Ahead of the European Championship next month, FSA Cymru’s Paul Corkrey has kindly answered some common questions that crop up from Wales fans looking to follow the team to Baku and through the remainder of the tournament.
Free Lions & FSF Cymru at the Euros
This is a story from the FSF archive – the FSF and SD merged to become the FSA in 2019.
As with all major tournaments, we’ve produced an excellent guidebook for England fans travelling to a France this summer – and as Wales have qualified for a major tournament for the first time in 58 years, FSF Cymru have got in on the act too.
The two separate guidebooks are packed full of useful information for England and Wales fans travelling to France next month. Here’s quick run-down of all the contents:
- Travel guide – getting around France
- Guide to all venues and host cities
- Advice from the Foreign & Commonwealth Office
- Tournament planner
- Run-down of UEFA supporter rules
- Essential words and phrases
- And much more!
