FlixBus, the global travel tech brand, will bring the UEFA Europa League and UEFA Conference League Official Trophy Tour to Birmingham on Friday 8 May, as part of its European journey ahead of the 2026 finals.

An exclusive, free fan event will open at Victoria Square in the city centre between 3.30pm and 7.30pm for one day only, giving supporters a chance to get up close with both trophies, win match tickets and take part in interactive football challenges.

Football legend and official ambassador Robert Pirès will also appear as a special guest.

Visitors can snap photos with the silverware, test their skills and experience the “Out of Office, Into Europe” theme, which brings the trophies into the real world.

Connecting to the city’s musical history, the event will feature live performances and bring football, culture and travel together in a rich soundtrack.

The event is part of part of the official UEFA Europa League and UEFA Conference League trophy tour, driven across the continent by FlixBus, having already travelled to Lyon in France and Bologna in Italy.

Birmingham is the final destination before the trophies head to the finals in Istanbul and Leipzig later in May.

As official partner of the UEFA Europa League and UEFA Conference League, FlixBus is responsible for bringing the trophy closer to the fans across Europe through the competition’s official trophy tour.

The partnership reflects a shared commitment to accessibility and sustainability, with FlixBus enabling fans to travel affordably and collectively to key football moments across Europe.

FlixBus connects over 100 UK destinations, alongside over 3,000 locations across Europe, making it easier than ever for fans to follow their teams on the road.
