Frate, an outdoor fan zone in Newcastle city centre, is expected to be packed with hundreds of fans for England's World Cup group match against Ghana on Tuesday night. The venue, located behind the Bigg Market and Grey Street, has already sold 350 guaranteed entry tickets at £4 each, which include a free pint on arrival.
England's World Cup Campaign
England began their World Cup campaign with a 4-2 victory over Croatia in Dallas last week, with goals from Jude Bellingham and Marcus Rashford securing the win. The team, led by Thomas Tuchel, is aiming to progress further than their recent tournament heartbreaks, including consecutive Euros final losses and a 2022 World Cup quarter-final exit to France.
Ghana's Challenge
Ghana also started their campaign with a win, beating Panama, and will look to cause an upset when they face England in Group L at Boston Stadium City on Tuesday. The match kicks off at 9pm UK time, and many city centres, including Newcastle, are expected to be busy.
Frate Fan Zone Details
Frate has been one of the busiest spots in Newcastle for England matches, and the outdoor fan zone is particularly appealing with forecast temperatures of 24°C at kick-off. While 350 tickets have been snapped up, fans can also try to enter without a ticket, but are advised to arrive early. Since opening in summer 2023, Frate has become a popular al fresco destination.
