Manchester City fans heading to Istanbul for the Champions League Final are being advised to make their way to the stadium NINE hours before kick-off. The Ataturk Stadium hosts this year's final between City and Inter Millan, but is more than an hour away from central Istanbul.
Public transport is limited and fans are being advised to prepare in advance how they will get to the stadium and to give themselves plenty of time to do so. The game kicks off at 10pm local time, however, dedicated fan zones near the stadium for each sets of fans open from 2pm.
Hundreds of shuttle busses are being put on from Istanbul and the airport to the ground from 1pm, giving fans plenty of time to reach the stadium before kick-off. The fan zones are accessible to ticket holding supporters only, with a UEFA spokesperson saying "supporters are encouraged to arrive early".
