Parties will offer fans the opportunity to watch the match together, but it will be grander than just setting up a large screen telly. The parties offer an immersive fan experience: that means multi-screen coverage of the game, food and drink, together with entertainment and giveaways.

And one of these very special parties will be held on the northern fringe of East London – at Big Penny Social in Waltham Forest (1 Priestley Way, E17 6AL). Getting to the venue will be a problem for many East Londoners, which doesn’t seem to be near a Tube station. Still, this is the official event, so a determined fan will find a way to head north. Fans will also have to work out how to get home: doors open at 8.30pm and the event will end at 3am on Monday morning.

Standard tickets are £20 each for a night full of US-Football razzamatazz, with VIP packages also available. Sadly, the venue’s website does not list its access information, so anyone with any special needs will need to contact them direct for information. The Party is open to over-18s only, and everyone there will have to show a photo ID. There are also rules about bags and searches.

The post Super Bowl is coming – with a London Watch Party appeared first on SPORTinVISION.

Their campaign was built on skill, consistency and an unshakeable team spirit. Imon Ahmed provided explosive bowling and batting at the top of the order. Hassan Ahmed led from the front with astute captaincy and key all round performances. Shumon Sharif delivered decisive spells with the ball. Emdad Hussain Tipu rolled back the years with match winning contributions when it mattered most.

The title may be secured, but the job isn’t done. The Tigers are now eyeing an even bigger prize – the Bert Vandermark Cup Final. If they win, they will make history by becoming the first team in a decade to claim both the league and the cup in the same year.

Manager Hassan Ahmed was beaming after lifting the trophy. “This is a proud day for everyone connected to the Mighty Tigers. The boys have been outstanding all season, but we’re not finished yet. We have one more mountain to climb and a chance to make history.”

As the summer evenings continue to echo with the sound of leather on willow, the Mighty Tigers’ 2025 season could soon become legendary.

The post of president is seen as an extremely powerful one in international sport. Kirsty, who is currently Zimbabwe’s Minister of Sport, is already a member of the IOC Board, but this promotion will enable her to modernise the Olympics. She will focus on making the Games sustainable, as well as bringing in new technology to enhance the Games for competitors and the audience.

Kirsty is a former swimmer, who won two Olympic god medals. She promised that as President she would work to empower athletes. She is known to favour imposing a blanket ban on transgender women competing in women’s competitions at the Olympics: she sees this as protecting the female competitions.

“It’s a really powerful signal,” said Kirsty after the result was announced. “It’s a signal that we’re truly global and that we have evolved into an organisation that is truly open to diversity and we’re going to continue walking that road in the next eight years.”

“I hope that this vote will be an inspiration to many people,” she continued. Glass ceilings have been shattered today, and I am full aware of my responsibilities as a role model.”

A total of 97 representatives were able to vote in the election. Kirsty secured 49 votes, winning on the first round. Juan Antonio Samaranch came second, with 28 votes. UK contender Sebastian Coe ended up in third place, winning just eight votes. Interviewed after the result was announced, he congratulated the winning candidate – but sounding rather deflated. David Lappartient from France and Morinari Watanabe received four votes each and Prince Feisal al Hussein from Jordan and Johan Eliasach from Sweden received two votes each.

The new president will begin work on ensuring that the Winter Games which will be held In Italy next February are a success.
