When the 2026 World Cup kicks off in June, it will be cozy, loud and a little exciting for many in Essen. Especially because some matches will be played later in the evening, it’s worth planning your soccer evening in advance. A suitable outfit, a few snacks, some decorations and little things to set the mood will turn the game at home into a shared experience. <\/p>\n
At Rathaus Galerie Essen, you can combine your shopping during the day with everything you need for the next game night. You don’t have to make a big shopping plan out of it. Take a quick stroll, do some shopping, gather new ideas and maybe take a break. <\/p>\n
For long evenings in front of the TV or at public viewings, the most important thing is that you feel comfortable. A light shirt, loose trousers, comfortable shoes or a cap are perfect if you want to show your fan spirit without dressing up. If you have a new Germany jersey, you can combine it with simple basics. If you like it more subtle, go for colors that match the occasion. <\/p>\n
At Olymp and Hades<\/a> you’ll find casual brands and streetwear for a sporty look. Jeans Fritz<\/a> is a good fit if you’re looking for comfortable summer fashion. Light fabrics, shorts, dresses or simple shirts are particularly practical in May and June. The result is an outfit that feels like a fan moment but is still suitable for everyday wear. <\/p>\n A soccer party doesn’t have to be planned on a grand scale. Sometimes a table setting, a few bowls, napkins, cups or small color accents are enough. When friends come over or the family watches together, the atmosphere is often created by little things. It is precisely these small details that make the evening more personal. <\/p>\n At HEMA<\/a> you’ll find home ideas, party accessories and practical items for the table. TEDi<\/a> and Woolworth are a good place to go if you want to create a bit of a fan atmosphere on a budget. This will keep your evening uncomplicated yet special. Decathlon<\/a> is the right place for the right fan outfit with a Germany jersey. <\/p>\n For children, a game night is often more than just watching TV. They want to join in the excitement, help design the table, paint something or prepare a little fan accessory themselves. This can start in the afternoon and makes the wait until kick-off more enjoyable. <\/p>\n Ernsting’s Family <\/a>is a suitable store if you are looking for clothes for children or simple family looks. At McPaper<\/a> you’ll find paper, pens and craft materials if the little fans want to create their own decorations. This way, the preparation becomes part of the evening and everyone feels like they’re part of it. <\/p>\n A good soccer evening thrives on things that are quickly on the table and that everyone likes. Chips, drinks, fruit, sweets or small snacks make it cozy without you having to spend a long time in the kitchen. <\/p>\n At REWE<\/a> you will find a large selection for the evening if you want to add fresh snacks. If you want to look outside, Decathlon<\/a> can be helpful. A light bag, comfortable clothes or practical companions make your stay more pleasant, especially when it’s warm at first and gets cooler later. <\/p>\n Rathaus Galerie Essen is centrally located in Essen’s city center and combines many stores, restaurants and services under one roof. With over 31,000 m\u00b2, the center offers many options for your everyday life, your visit to the city of Essen and small preparations for special evenings. Following the refurbishment, the shopping experience has become even more pleasant because the distances remain short and you can easily combine errands. <\/p>\n The parking garage in the immediate vicinity also makes shopping convenient. You can check the opening hours of your favorite store beforehand and see if there are any current events, coupons or special offers. <\/p>\n This turns a simple shopping trip to the mall into a small experience: you’ll find something for an evening of soccer, have something to eat in the Nordmall in between, browse through various stores and perhaps end up taking home more anticipation than you had planned.<\/p>\n Here’s to a great World Cup 2026!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When the 2026 World Cup kicks off in June, it …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":8598,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-archive"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rathaus-galerie-essen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rathaus-galerie-essen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rathaus-galerie-essen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rathaus-galerie-essen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rathaus-galerie-essen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8599"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/rathaus-galerie-essen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8599\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rathaus-galerie-essen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8598"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rathaus-galerie-essen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rathaus-galerie-essen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rathaus-galerie-essen.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}At home, the living room becomes the stage for the 2026 World Cup<\/h2>\n
