FIFA unveils World Cup fan zones throughout Los Angeles County
A month ahead of the FIFA World Cup in Los Angeles, organizers announced 10 official zones for soccer fans to gather and enjoy the matches.
Dubbed "Fan Zones," the gathering points will start after the opening weekend and continue throughout the international tournament. There are a handful of free fan zones, but most of the events will cost $5 to $25.
"These events will create accessible, vibrant gathering places where fans can come together to celebrate the global game," said Kathryn Schloessman, the head of the World Cup Host Committee. "From iconic landmarks to neighborhood hubs, Los Angeles will offer an unmatched FIFA World Cup experience that reflects the diversity, culture, and passion of our region."
