The designated fan zone for the European Championship (Euro 2016) at Brussels’ Place Rogier is open again after it was closed briefly on Tuesday due to a false bomb alarm at the City2 shopping mall. “The square is the safest place in Belgium,” organiser Jeronimo Moreira told Bruzz.
This evening’s Euro 2016 match between Czech Republic and Turkey will be broadcast on a big screen in the fan zone, where visitors are welcome from 20.00.
Fans wishing to enter the zone will first have to undergo a security check. “We have private security agents in place, in addition to police officers and soldiers who will patrol in and around the square,” Moreira said. “Rogier is undoubtedly the safest place in Belgium at the moment.”
