A large TV or projector for a more immersive match-day experience

One of the best TVs for sport has a large screen. A big TV makes all the difference when you’re watching the Dutch team. The larger and sharper the picture, the more immersive the experience. You can follow every move more clearly, see more detail, and feel the tension as if you were right there in the stadium. Prefer to watch TV outdoors? In that case, choose a TV designed for outdoor use.

Do you have a larger space, or do you want to create a real fan zone at home? Then a projector with a projection screen is an excellent choice. It can turn your living room, garage or garden into something that feels just like a stadium.

Go for stadium-style sound with soundbars and speakers

Great sound is essential for a truly immersive match-day experience. The sound of the crowd, the commentary and the tension in the stadium all help make a match more exciting. With a good soundbar, possibly combined with a subwoofer or speaker set, it can feel as though you’re right in the middle of the stadium.

Want to take the atmosphere up another level? Then a party speaker is a smart addition. It not only gives you extra volume and energy during the match but is also perfect if you want to keep the party going at half-time or after the final whistle.

Prepare snacks with an air fryer, deep fat fryer or barbecue

Whether you’re in the stadium or watching from the sofa at home, no match is complete without snacks from the air fryer or deep fat fryer. With an air fryer or fryer, you can run your own snack bar at home. Watching the match with lots of friends and family? Then an XL or XXL air fryer, or a large deep fat fryer, is ideal for preparing several snacks at the same time. And if the weather is nice, you can always fire up the barbecue and cook some tasty burgers too.

Keep drinks and snacks cool in a fridge, cool box or freezer

As the Euro Cup and World Cup are often played in early summer, it’s especially nice to have cold drinks within easy reach. With a mini fridge with a freezer compartment or a cool box, you can easily keep drinks and snacks properly chilled. That way, you won’t have to miss a moment of the match and you can always enjoy something cold and refreshing.

Make sure you have the right setup with Wi-Fi

Most TVs are connected to the internet, so a stable Wi-Fi connection is essential. A good modem and router provide the foundation for a strong connection. The modem links your internet provider’s network to your home connection, helping to ensure reliable and stable internet. That means you can watch the entire match without buffering or delay and won’t miss a single second.

Create extra atmosphere and comfort with smart lighting and a fan

With smart lighting, you can easily add more atmosphere to the space around your TV, whether that means warm lighting or the colours of your favourite team. It instantly makes every match feel more inviting and helps you experience the tension even more intensely. Smart lighting also lets you control all your lights when it gets dark, without having to get up from the sofa.

A fan is also ideal for a bit of extra cooling, especially when the tension rises or when several people are watching in a small room. It helps keep the room pleasant and comfortable, even on warm days or during nail-biting moments. That way, you create not only more atmosphere, but also a more relaxed and enjoyable viewing experience.
