Areola and Bowen meet fans in Tampa

Hammers Areola, Bowen, Ferdinand and Reo-Coker hang out at Tampa Fan Party

Alphonse Areola, Jarrod Bowen and legends Anton Ferdinand and Nigel Reo-Coker hung out with American Hammers in Florida on Friday evening.

The two West Ham United stars and two former favourites entertained supporters from all over the US at MacDinton's Irish Pub in Tampa, with stories, a sing-song and shirt giveaways adding to the party atmosphere.

The players also arrived in West Ham's bespoke Claret and Blue tour bus, which has been carrying the first-team squad around during the Sunshine State Tour, and remained at the venue for fans to take photographs and selfies with!

The Irons will conclude our two-week stay in Florida on Saturday evening, when Julen Lopetegui's side tackle Premier League rivals Crystal Palace in the Stateside Cup at Raymond James Stadium, home of the NFL's two-time Super Bowl winners, Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

If you are in Florida and fancy watching West Ham in action in a London derby with a difference, tickets are on General Sale now HEREDesignated sections for West Ham United supporters can be found on the Raymond James Stadium map as you go through the purchase process. The designated sections are Blocks 122, 123 and 124.

Alternatively, if you can't be with us in-person, the game will be available to watch worldwide on West Ham TV via whufc.com and our official mobile app, with passes available for the matches HERE.

After losing 3-1 to Wolverhampton Wanderers in Jacksonville last weekend, and Palace defeating Wolves by the same scoreline in Annapolis, Maryland, in midweek, West Ham need a three-goal victory to secure the inaugural Stateside Cup!
