MJN Entertainment celebrates success of England Fan Zone during World Cup

A Northamptonshire event production company, MJN Entertainment, is celebrating the success of this summer's England Fan Zone at Kettering Town FC, which recorded more than 3,700 supporter attendances across England's FIFA World Cup. Many fans returned for multiple matches, creating an unforgettable atmosphere throughout the tournament and building a loyal community of supporters.

The fan zone transformed the club into a vibrant destination for supporters, complete with a five-metre LED video wall, professional sound system, lighting, live Djs and food and drink vendors.

Across the tournament, supporters travelled from across Northamptonshire to watch England's matches together, with fixtures hitting full capacity and attracting fantastic feedback from attendees.

The event was delivered by Mat Newman, Director of MJN Entertainment, who managed the technical production and installation, working alongside the club, volunteers and event partners to create a professional fan experience.

"From the very beginning, my goal was to create more than just somewhere to watch football" Mat shared. "I wanted to create an experience that brought people together, generated an incredible atmosphere and gave supporters incredible memories.

The feedback we've received has been overwhelming. Hearing people tell us it's the best fan zone they've visited and seeing families, friends and football fans enjoying every match together has made all the hard work worthwhile.

I'd like to thank Kettering Town FC, the volunteers and staff who worked behind the scenes, security teams, DJs and, of course, every single supporter who attended and helped create such a fantastic atmosphere."
