Fun & Games Event Hire was proud to deliver an exciting lineup of interactive entertainment at Ashton Gate Stadium for the England U21 international fixture against Azerbaijan. While the Young Lions impressed with a dominant 7–0 win on the pitch, the pre-match buzz started in the fanzone — where our games brought fans together for some hands-on fun before kick-off.

Pre-Match Entertainment That Got Fans Involved

From the moment gates opened, our interactive activities became a key part of the matchday build-up. Fans of all ages joined in the fun, testing their skills and reflexes in a family-friendly atmosphere designed to energise and engage.

Our fully staffed activation featured:

• ICON Fast Feet Challenge – testing speed, control, and reactions in a fast-paced dribbling challenge.

• SubSoccer Table – 1v1 seated football battles that created laughter and light-hearted competition.

• Batak Reaction Game – a crowd favourite, pushing reflexes to the limit in a high-intensity light-based challenge.

Delivering a Memorable Fan Experience

Our experienced event staff were on hand throughout to guide players, keep the energy high, and make sure every fan had a great time. Their friendly and inclusive approach helped create an upbeat environment that complemented the excitement of international football.

Building Buzz Before the First Whistle

With the stadium atmosphere building, our games helped set the tone for an electric evening. The fanzone became a hub of activity, filled with smiling faces, team colours, and the shared anticipation of supporting England’s next generation of stars.
