Beacon to host Fan Zone dedicated to International Fans' Day

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:

• Music from Dance Revolution
• Free outdoor kickabouts
• EAFC on the Xboxes
• Matchday Mental Health Hub

Don’t head to the match hungry! Our Yard Nine Café will be serving up matchday classics and drinks.
