FC Basel v Fulham in Switzerland – 16 Dec 2009

Fulham FC travels to Basel, Switzerland to meet FC Basel (Fussball Club Basel) in a UEFA Europa League football match on 16 December 2009 at the St. Jakob-Park stadium.

Those wishing to avoid the crowds and excitement associated with a big football match should avoid the area on 16 December.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) has put together some useful information for Fulham fans travelling out to support their team. The information includes advice on getting to the stadium ‘from Paddy Reilly’s Irish Bar in Steinentorstrasse…’

Basel is situated in the far north-western corner of Switzerland, on the German border. If you are making the effort to travel there, why not take some time out to get in the Christmas spirit at the Basel Christmas Market and pick up some unusual stocking stuffers.

Don’t forget to take along your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) but be aware that it should not be used as a substitute for proper travel insurance.
