Air-con venue in Birmingham to host England v Norway World Cup

Digbeth's premiere nightlife venue, XOYO Birmingham, has confirmed it will host England vs Norway's World Cup quarter-final match on Saturday, July 11. The high-stakes match will be shown on a 'huge' screen for fans, with air conditioning providing relief from the sweltering heat forecast for the weekend.

Match details and venue features

Temperatures are expected to reach around 30°C on Saturday, and with thousands of fans heading to pubs and bars across Birmingham to watch the match, air conditioning is a must. XOYO Birmingham will screen the match after England's remarkable 3–2 victory over Mexico. Thomas Tuchel's side arrive with momentum and a nation behind them, setting the stage for England's biggest match in the competition.

Doors open at 7pm, giving supporters time to settle in and build the atmosphere ahead of the 10pm kick-off. A DJ will set the tone before the match, with the venue's large LED screen and premium sound system ensuring the action feels as close to pitch-side as it gets.
