UEFA have taken it upon themselves to find out and reveal the different types of food that fans decide to eat at football matches across Europe.
The governing body has got correspondents in each member nation to report back with the most popular food eaten at their stadiums and published it on UEFA.com. Some aren’t so surprising, with pies eaten in England and bratwurst in Germany. |

Estonians and Lithuanians apparently like to tuck in to some garlic bread, while the Turkish are in to drinking aryan – a ‘salted yoghurt drink’.
In the Czech Republic the klobása sausages they eat are so unhealthy that ‘if a footballer was seen eating klobása he would be fined by his coach’.
This might not be as bad as the Greeks though, who eat ‘Vromiko’. It literally translates as ‘filthy’, because of the hygiene at vendors.
Vast swathes of the continent are happy enough eating sausages, pies, or sunflower seeds though, and this doesn’t look like changing any time soon.
Take a look below for the full list of what each nation favours at their football grounds:
