UEFA is inviting fans and families to visit and take part in a series of free activities, including the opportunity to have photos taken with the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Women's Champions League trophies.

Throughout the week there will be a variety of skills clinics and coaching courses for youngsters laid on by professional coaches and, of course, the Ultimate Champions Match (which will be broadcast live by Sport TV Portugal), plus much more. In the evenings, for the first time, the festival area will be transformed into a lounge area for all visitors.
