West Ham United supporters are invited to join the Hammers at three exciting events in Tampa, Florida!
The Irons are in the USA for the Sunshine State Tour, which will be highlighted by two Stateside Cup ties with Premier League rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers and Crystal Palace.
The clash with the Eagles will take place at Raymond James Stadium, home of the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers, on Saturday 3 August at 7pm EDT.
Before that, Head Coach Julen Lopetegui and his players will host an Open Training Session at the Al Lang Stadium on Thursday 1 August, between 6pm-7.30pm EDT.
The home of the USL club Tampa Bay Rowdies will host the Claret and Blue Army as Lopetegui and his squad make preparations to take on Palace in a derby with a difference!
Supporters can enter Al Lang Stadium via Gate 6 from 5.30pm EDT. After training has finished, there will be a chance for supporters to interact with players and the coaching staff. Fans should note that Al Lang Stadium is a cash-free facility.

The following evening, Friday 2 August, the Hammers will be hosting Fan Party in downtown Tampa from 5.30pm EDT. The Fan Party is for supporters’ group members and will be hosted by West Ham legends Anton Ferdinand and Nigel Reo-Coker, giving supporters’ groups from across the US the opportunity to get together for a Claret and Blue celebration.
To register to join this event, please contact your local supporters’ club, who can supply more information. You can find your supporters’ club HERE.
Finally, a Matchday Tailgate experience at Raymond James Stadium will now take place inside the concourse area owing to unsettled weather forecast in Tampa. The tailgate will commence when gates open at 5.30pm, not at the previously advertised time of 4pm.
Supporters should head to the level one West concourse, areas 109-111 and 209-211, via Gate D.

And you can be part of it!
