Vaping at Euro 2024 Football Stadiums
The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) has released official stadium rules for the European Championship 2024. These rules cover the use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and provide a general overview of guidelines for all attendees. It is advisable to familiarise yourself with these rules before attending a match. Most stadiums will have their own regulations and designated vaping areas, but all of them are required to follow the guidelines set out by UEFA.
While vaping will be permitted in certain designated areas, it is strictly prohibited in public areas, including the stands. This is in line with UEFA’s commitment to providing a smoke-free environment for all fans and to comply with local laws and regulations.
Vaping at Fanzones
If you’re heading to one of the festival zones in any of the host cities, then it's advisable to follow the guidelines set out by UEFA about vaping in stadiums. This will include only using your vape in designated areas and away from crowded spaces.

Match 1 – England v Serbia
- Date: 16 June 2024
- Location: Gelsenkirchen
- Stadium: VELTINS-Arena
- Capacity: 62,271
The last time these two teams met was November 2003, in an intense match that ended with a 2-1 victory for England. However, just last October, the U21 England squad enjoyed an impressive 9-1 win against Serbia. Here’s hoping for a similar performance from the senior team this time around!
Local Team Fact – FC Schalke 04’s Nickname is “Die Knappen” (The Miners)
FC Schalke 04’s nickname “Die Knappen” (The Miners) stems from the club’s origins in the coal mining industry of Gelsenkirchen. This nickname reflects the city’s industrial heritage and the working-class roots of the club[ii].
Match 2 – England v Denmark
- Date: 20 June 2024
- Location: Frankfurt
- Stadium: Deutsche Bank Park
- Capacity: 58,000
In the second game of Euro 2020, England is going head-to-head with Denmark. The last time they played was the semi-final of Euro 2020. It was a close one, ending in a 1-1 draw. But England came out on top in extra time. If they win this match, and add it to their victory against Serbia, England will be guaranteed a spot in the knockout stages of the tournament.
Local Team Fact – Eintracht Frankfurt’s Mascot is Attila the Golden Eagle
Since 2006, Attila the golden eagle has been present at every Eintracht Frankfurt home match. The club adopted Attila as a good luck charm, and he is one of only two live animal mascots in the Bundesliga[iii].
Match 3 – England v Slovenia
- Date: 25 June 2024
- Location: Cologne
- Stadium: RheinEnergieSTADION
- Capacity: 50,000
England’s final group stage match is against Slovenia. Assuming we have defeated our first two opponents, this match will likely be more settled, as we will have an eye on who we might face in the next round. The last time these two teams met was in 2017, with England emerging victorious with a 1-0 win.
Local Team Fact – FC Köln’s Mascot is a Goat Named Hennes
FC Köln’s beloved mascot is a cheerful goat named Hennes. The tradition started as a carnival joke in 1950 when a local businessman donated a billy goat to the club. Hennes has become an iconic symbol, with the current mascot being Hennes IX since 2019[iv].
Vaping at Stadiums in the Knockout Stages
The knockout stages have arrived, and England have managed to scrape through despite three underwhelming performances. Their progression to the last 16 means our loyal supporters can extend their stay in Germany.
Whether you’re making the journey to Gelsenkirchen for the upcoming match or you’ve been there since Englands first game, remember to stock up on Totally Wicked vape supplies and e-liquids
Match 4: Round of 16 – England v Slovakia
- Date: 30 June 2024
- Location: Gelsenkirchen
- Stadium: VELTINS-Arena
- Capacity: 62,271
Slovakia’s 1-0 win over Belgium means it will likely be tough match. England previously struggled to a 2-1 victory against Slovakia en route to World Cup 2018 qualification. Given England's history of slow starts in tournaments, they need to begin this round of 16 match with intensity, setting the tone for a potential clash with Switzerland or Italy.
Local Team Fact - FC Schalke 04 youth academy, one of the best in Germany
FC Schalke 04’s Knappenschmiede (German for “miner’s forge”) is a European powerhouse in youth development. World Cup winners like Manuel Neuer and stars like Mesut Ozil and Leroy Sane all started here.

The sound of “Hey Jude” echoed through Gelsenkirchen on Sunday evening as England kept their dream alive, advancing to the quarter-finals. With just 75 seconds left in regular time, Jude Bellingham scored the crucial equalizer. The match went into extra time, where Harry Kane netted the winning goal. Looking ahead to Saturday’s match, England faces a challenging match following Switzerland’s masterclass performance against Italy.

Totally Wicked Fact: Fortuna Düsseldorf’s Name Means “Lucky”
Fortuna Düsseldorf owes its name to a random stroke of luck. Back in 1912, the club’s founders were brainstorming a new name when a horse-drawn carriage from a bakery called “Fortuna” happened to pass by. They took it as a sign and adopted the name, associating the club with the Roman goddess of fortune and good luck ever since[vii].
Match 6: Semi Finals - England v Netherlands
- Date: 10 July 2024
- Location: Dortmund
- Stadium: BVB Stadion Dortmund
- Capacity: 81,365
England secured their place in the next round with a significantly improved performance against Switzerland. The match went all the way to penalties, where England finally broke their historical curse and emerged as winners. This triumph sets the stage for a clash with the Netherlands on Wednesday night. The Dutch have provided some dominant displays throughout the tournament, and they likely have their sights set on the Euro 2024 trophy.
Totally Wicked Fact - Borussia Dortmund have a mascot called Emma
Since 2005, EMMA the Bee has been the beloved mascot of Borussia Dortmund, embodying the club’s spirit and values. Named after club legend Lothar Emmerich, EMMA serves as the head of the BVB KidsClub, engaging young fans and spreading joy through her presence at events and matches. Not just a mascot, EMMA is a symbol of passion, unity, and tradition for Borussia Dortmund [viii]
