Sharpen your Hockey skills at Team GB’s FanZones this summer

GB Fan ZoneRio de Janeiro may be some 6,000 miles away but supporters of Team GB are set to be taken closer to the action at this summer’s Olympic Games at a nationwide network of Official FanZones.

As well as following the nation’s finest athletes on their quest Olympic glory, the FanZones will also offer fans – young and old, beginners and experts – the opportunity to try their hand at Hockey.

Scottish Hockey have partnered with Team GB to offer this fantastic opportunity to learn more about one of this summer’s most exciting Olympic sports. To join in with Hockey just get along to the Glasgow FanZone between 12-5pm from 8th Aug – 13th Aug 2016.

Entry to the FanZone is free and what’s more the big screen will be the best place to catch the action and soak up the samba spirit as the nation’s finest athletes aim to make Rio 2016 Team GB’s best ever away Games.

Team GB Great, Beth Tweddle, said: “Team GB fans are so passionate and it was fantastic in 2012 to get everyone together at locations across the country.  There is something very special about everyone coming together to support Team GB.  I’d encourage fans around the UK to visit a FanZone during the Olympic Games and show the athletes in Rio that they are behind them.

“It is great to see Hockey backing Team GB ahead of another exciting Olympic Games, and they’d love as many fans as possible to visit.

Scottish Hockey CEO David Sweetman said: “We have an exciting activity planned for the Glasgow FanZone, including small-sided hockey games that people can join in and enjoy. It should be fantastic fun that people of all ages and abilities can enjoy.”

The project is a partnership between Team GB and the host venues and is funded through support from official Team GB partners Aldi, Muller and The National Lottery. For more information go to www.teamgb.com/fanzones
