Hyundai Motor kicks off its support for the eagerly-anticipated 2016 UEFA European Championship with the start of EURO 2016 today.
Firstly, two new Fan Parks in England and the Czech Republic mark the beginning of the month-long European football tournament which will run until July 10. Since the build up to EURO 2016, Hyundai Motor has been dedicated to enhancing the experience for thousands of European supporters through its ‘Real Fans First’ campaign.
The new venues in London’s King’s Cross Square and Zlute Lazne in Prague will screen games throughout the tournament period. The London venue is one of the city’s major transportation hubs and is Hyundai Motor’s first indoor Fan Park - designed to host 1,000 supporters whenever games are being played. In Prague, 8,000 fans are expected to cheer for their national teams at the outdoor space in the heart of the city. The visitors to each Fan Park will be provided with LED bracelets to help create a unique atmosphere. Each country will help ensure visitor safety by providing appropriate levels of police and security support.

Under its own slogan ‘Real Fans First’, Hyundai Motor has been demonstrating its devotion to EURO 2016 and its dedication to enhance the experience for real football fans through a variety of activities leading up to the big kick-off.

Starting from June 10, the UEFA EURO 2016 Hyundai Predictor game will begin its Bracket Predictor game, allowing fans to submit their prediction of tournament results on and win prizes.
