Croeso Pubs is preparing for one of the biggest sporting weekends of the summer, with four of its Cardiff venues transforming into dedicated fan zones as Arsenal and Manchester City supporters descend on the Welsh capital for the Community Shield.
Taking place on Sunday 16 August, the Community Shield pits the winners of the Premier League against the FA Cup champions and traditionally signals the start of the new football season. With thousands of supporters expected to travel to Cardiff, Croeso Pubs is getting ready to deliver an unforgettable matchday atmosphere.
As Cardiff prepares to welcome fans from both clubs, the city will be awash with red and blue. Arsenal supporters can make The Philharmonic, Brewhouse and Retro their home for the day, while Manchester City fans can head to Blue Bell, where each venue will offer live coverage and plenty of pre-match excitement.
Supporters can expect a buzzing matchday atmosphere, with food and drink offers, and the chance to watch the action alongside fellow fans. Whether meeting friends before kick-off or celebrating after the final whistle, Croeso Pubs is set to be at the heart of the Community Shield experience in Cardiff.
Michael Haygarth, Area Director for Croeso Pubs, said: “Cardiff always embraces major sporting occasions, and the Community Shield is the perfect way to kick off another football season. We’re looking forward to welcoming supporters from both clubs and creating an atmosphere that captures everything fans love about matchday. Whether you’re cheering on Arsenal or Man City, our venues are the place to soak up the occasion. The Community Shield offers great opportunity for our venues to showcase the fantastic match day experience for football fans ahead of Euro 2028.”
