The Rebels’ Fanzone will return to SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh next Sunday for fans to enjoy the All-Ireland Hurling Championship final, Cork City Council and Cork GAA have confirmed.

The family-friendly event will feature the clash between Cork and Tipperary broadcast on big screens, with entertainment scheduled before and after the game.

Organisers say that "every effort will be made to ensure the best atmosphere possible at the home of hurling in Cork" as the Rebels cheer on Pat Ryan's team in their efforts to bring Liam MacCarthy back to Leeside.

The Rebels’ Fanzone will be fully ticketed, alcohol-free, and under-16s must be accompanied by an adult.

Commenting on the return of the event, Brian Geaney, deputy chief executive of Cork City Council, said: “Cork has been turned into a sea of red and white in recent weeks.

"There's huge excitement building across Cork and we're hoping for an electric atmosphere at this free, family-friendly event at the home of Cork GAA".

Pat Horgan, chairperson of Cork GAA, added: “Once again, demand for final tickets for the All-Ireland final is unprecedented, and unfortunately, not everyone will be able to attend Croke Park next Sunday.

"With the support of Cork City Council, we are delighted to bring back the Rebels’ Fanzone, which will allow supporters of all ages an opportunity to come together and support an incredible team from right across the county.”

Tickets for the event will be free of charge and available from 7:30 a.m. on Thursday, July 17, via:

Cork GAA’s website: www.gaacork.ie
Cork City Council’s website: www.corkcity.ie
Eventmaster: www.eventmaster.ie

Tickets will be limited to a maximum of five per person, and capacity is restricted. For this reason, organisers are asking fans to only apply for tickets if they are sure they will attend.

A ticket transfer and cancellation window will remain open until midnight on Saturday, July 19.
