As the UEFA Women\u2019s Champions League final heads to Oslo this weekend, Heineken is taking over a different capital city this weekend.<\/p>\n

With Norway\u2019s advertising laws preventing alcohol brands promoting themselves in Oslo, the beer company is shifting its focus from the host city to a venue in east London.<\/p>\n

Oslo Hackney will be transformed into a watch party dedicated to women\u2019s football fans and grassroots communities, raising money for local communities supporting women\u2019s football.<\/p>\n

Heineken is using this exciting showpiece as the backdrop for a wider initiative aimed at reinvesting money back into women\u2019s football, through partnerships with local communities that support the game.<\/p>\n

With advertising rules around alcohol in Norway preventing on-the-ground promotion in Oslo, the beer brand is committing to help fund community organisations supporting women\u2019s football across the UK with every pint poured at the special watch party event contributing to the cause.<\/p>\n

The company will also contribute additional funding beyond the night\u2019s bar profits. Five organisations are set to benefit from the initiative: Baller FC<\/a>, Goal Diggers FC<\/a>, Romance FC<\/a>, Victoria Park Vixens<\/a>, and Women in Football<\/a> – groups working across grassroots football, equality campaigns and inclusive access to the sport.<\/p>\n

Heineken recently extended their sponsorship of the UWCL through to 2030, and the activation forms part of Heineken\u2019s \u2018Fans Have More Friends<\/a>\u2019 campaign, centred on football fandom as a way of bringing people together in the stadium and beyond.<\/p>\n

Former England internationals Toni Duggan and Izzy Christiansen will appear at the event for a live pre-match Q&A before kick-off.<\/p>\n
