Portugal and Uzbekistan will both hold fan marches ahead of Tuesday’s FIFA World Cup matchup in Houston.
Portugal’s fanwalk will start at the Smith Lands South Parking Lot at 9 a.m. while the Uzbekistan march begins at Helix Park, also at 9 a.m.
Tuesday’s match kicks off at noon.
The two fan matches come after thousands took to the streets of Houston on Saturday ahead of the Netherlands-Sweden match. Houston’s local host committee said about 30,000 people participated in the fan marches, including around 25,000 who joined the famous Dutch Oranje Fanwalk that started at Rice University.
The Netherlands blew past Sweden for a 5-1 win.
Tuesday’s matchup between Portugal and Uzbekistan is the fourth of seven matchups in Houston during the FIFA World Cup.
Uzbekistan fell to Colombia in its World Cup debut but Abbosbek Fayzullaev scored the team’s first goal in the competition. The White Wolves are coached by Fabio Cannavaro, the 2006 Ballon d’Or winner who captained Italy to a championship at the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
In addition to the fanwalk, an Uzbekistan fan zone at Helix Park will have programming Monday night as well as Tuesday morning and afternoon.
