Public Screening
The games of the German national team can be seen in the group phase as well as in the round of 16/quarterfinals and final in our Frankfurt classroom! The games will be shown on a large screen, supported by the best technology, and everyone cheers along. Of course, popcorn and drinks must not be neglected either!
So the longer the German team fights through and advances, the longer the enjoyment of public viewing.
