AZ Alkmaar supporters' march

This Wednesday evening's Europa League fixture against AZ Alkmaar will be a historic occasion for Sunderland, marking the Club’s first game in Europe for 53 years. With supporters travelling from the Netherlands for the game, as part of their visit, a number of AZ Alkmaar supporters will take part in a planned march to the Stadium of Light.

The march, which will commence at approximately 5.30pm, will use the Keel Crossing as supporters make their way towards the stadium.

The Keel Crossing may be temporarily closed for a short period to allow the march to pass safely.

Supporters and members of the public are asked to be aware of this potential brief delay when using the crossing. It will reopen as soon as it is safe to do so.

After 53 years without European football at the Stadium of Light, Wednesday represents an important moment in the Club’s history and an opportunity for Sunderland to showcase itself on the European stage.
