Leeds is set to play host to the first ever official international watch party for the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday 11 September, kick-off 6pm BST. The 49ers are set to kick off their 2022 National Football League season with a clash against the Chicago Bears.
The event is set to be hosted at BOX Sports Bar in downtown Leeds, with doors set to open at 4.30pm on a first come, first serve basis. Fans are encouraged to confirm their attendance on Facebook prior to the day of the event, and it is set to be free of charge.
This is a continuation of the relationship that Leeds United and San Francisco 49ers have built up in recent years, with 49ers Enterprises now owning a 44% stake in the club. Fans in attendance can expect to experience an authentic NFL game day atmosphere, which includes starting line-up announcements, chants, scoring songs and other exciting surprises for those in attendance.
