Beacon of Light is set to host a Matchday Fan Zone with a difference when Sunderland AFC celebrate International Fans’ Day.
The Black Cats’ home game against Swansea City on Saturday 12 April will be dedicated to celebrating supporters from across the globe and there’s plenty going on at the Beacon from 12:30pm.
There will be special performances from Sunderland Chinese Unicorn Association who will stage a Chinese Dragon Parade and a Caribbean Steel Band Performance from West Rainton Primary School.
A series of interviews will be carried out with international supporters, hearing more about the stories of their connection with Sunderland AFC.
There will also be all the usual Fan Zone activities, including:
Don’t head to the match hungry! Our Yard Nine Café will be serving up matchday classics and drinks.
Sunderland supporters are in for a bumper afternoon of family fun at the Beacon of Light this Sunday (25 October), as we celebrate Foundation of Light's 25th anniversary ahead of the Black Cats' clash with Leeds United.
The display will coincide with Wear Red and White Day on Friday 23rd October, when schools, businesses, organisations and supporters across the region are encouraged to show their support by wearing the club’s colours.
Our brand-new red and white padel courts at the Beacon of Light are ready for play, with availability from Monday 12 October.
