Lagardère Sports, the sporting division of Lagardère Sports and Entertainment, has been contracted by the City of Paris for the design, development and operation of the Fan Zone at the Champ de Mars in Paris during Euro 2016, the agency announced on 27/10/2015.

The Fan Zone will be used throughout the Euro 2016 and will broadcast all matches of the competition (from 10/06 to 10/07/2016).
